The typical MOOC is a fully online course in which students have zero-cost access to the course and all of its instructional materials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a team at UW-La Crosse designed a Math MOOC to align with the on-campus remedial math course MTH 051: Intermediate Algebra. The team\u2019s goal was that successful completion of the MOOC would prepare students for placement beyond MTH 051 in the curriculum, allowing them to enter college-level math and science courses. After a successful pilot in the summer of 2012, the MOOC was opened to interested students from around the world. This was the first MOOC developed in the UW System.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On October 10th, two of the faculty involved in this project will visit UW-Whitewater to share their experiences in building the College Readiness Math MOOC and their hopes for the future. \u00a0Robert is a Professor of Mathematics and the Director of the UW System Institute for Innovation in Undergraduate Research and Learning, and Jennifer Kosiak is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at UW-La Crosse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>October 10, 2013, 11:00-12:00 CST<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> HH4303, Dean\u2019s Executive Conference Room. 4th Floor of Hyland Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Space is limited to 40 individuals.
