“…12 While modularized courses can be implemented a number of ways, they generally allow students to prove mastery of particular skills by taking a series of short, focused assessments. After students demonstrate competency, they can move on to more advanced modules.…”

“…In both programs, the traditional math curriculum has 11 Brancard, Baker, and Jensen (2006);Bragg (2009). 12 See the Web sites of these initiatives for a list of project participants and the developmental education strategies that they use: Developmental Education Initiative (http://www.deionline.org/); Breaking Through (http://www.breakingthroughcc.org). 13 Epper and Baker (2009). been broken down into a series of modules, with frequent assessments by which students demonstrate their mastery of key concepts.…”

“…12 Given the promising findings from I-BEST and Breaking Through, developmental education programs should consider how links with occupational courses might further improve their students' outcomes. Additionally, more rigorous research should be conducted to validate the promising results of programs following this model.…”

“…12 Such challenges reveal that even institutions that had implemented a number of researchers' recommended practices still had difficulty helping students move into college-level courses and graduate. These challenges become even more apparent when looking at developmental education students' performance on a national scale, as multiple studies have noted that few students complete their developmental education sequence, move on to credit-bearing courses, or graduate with a degree or certificate.…”
