Adaptivity & Acceleration in MyFoundationsLab Students begin MyFoundationsLab with a diagnostic assessment aligned to the competencies of the PERT or customized to fit the specific goals of your program. The system automatically creates a personalized Learning Path for each student at his or her current level of proficiency. Each Learning Path includes overview tutorials, quality instruction, practice exercises, and step-by-step help to accelerate learning. As students work through the program, a powerful adaptive learning engine continuously monitors each student’s performance and provides personalized recommendations to help them gain mastery as efficiently as possible.
MyFoundationsLab is a competency-based, online assessment and skill-building program designed to improve academic preparedness in reading, writing, and math. MyFoundationsLab courses are organized around modules and topics, as opposed to a textbook's table of contents.
This learning environment enables adult learners of varying abilities and educational entry points to identify and fill academic gaps at their own paces. Content is topically arranged for each student to master the requisite skills to successfully pursue postsecondary degree paths and accelerate time to completion.

All of our MyMathLab courses are now available with a workbook or note-taking guide. Many successful redesigns across the country (modules, compressed, and other styles!) require that a workbook or note-taking guide be used in conjunction with MyMathLab to ensure that students learn the importance of taking notes, keeping their work, and staying organized. The setup and design of these guides varies by author – some are more focused on extra practice, while others encourage students to take note while watching videos, etc. – but the good news is that we have many options available!

CONTEXTUALIZED INSTRUCTION
FOR MATHEMATICS
Pearson offers a variety of MyMathLab/textbook and MyFoundationsLab programs for a contextualized program with applications to support Florida’s meta-majors.
Math Lit , by Kathleen Almy and Heather Foes, provides a one-semester alternative to the traditional two-semester developmental algebra sequence for non-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) students. This new approach offers an accelerated pathway to college readiness through developmental math, allowing non-STEM students to move directly into liberal arts math or introductory statistics, while also preparing STEM students for intermediate algebra. Through its emphasis on contextual problem-solving, the Almy/Foes worktext and its accompanying MyMathLab ®^ course help students understand and practice the major themes of numeracy, proportional reasoning, algebraic reasoning, and functions.
Blitzer’s MyMathLab for Thinking Mathematically with Integrated Review is a new co- requisite course solution, offering a complete liberal arts MyMathLab ®^ course with integrated review of select topics from developmental algebra. The course provides the full suite of resources for Blitzer’s Thinking Mathematically , Fifth Edition, along with additional assignments and study aids for students who will benefit from remediation on developmental topics. Because this is a Ready to Go MyMathLab course, all assignments (both college-level and developmental review) are preassigned (instructors can edit at any time). Printed support resources, including the complete Thinking Mathematically, Fifth edition textbook, and Integrated Review Worksheets are also available.
In Bob Blitzer fashion, his newest title presents math topics in a way that is interesting and relevant to today’s students. Detailed development of Algebra topics early in the textbook enhances students’ skills before moving on. Voice balloons and step-by-step solutions walk students through examples. Extensive chapter review materials, such as visuals, additional examples, and 2 chapter tests, help students prepare for the test. The Brief Review feature covers topics students should already know, freeing up classroom time. Two chapters dedicated to financial mathematics prepare students for using math in the real world. Blitzer provides the applications and technology students need to gain an appreciation for mathematics.
We have seen several course outlines for proposed 0029 courses, and they were all different. If you have prepared an outline for your own 0029 course, we would be happy to correlate your plan to the most appropriate MyMathLab/textbook programs. See below for some of our options.

SOLUTIONS FOR ENGLISH
Personalized Learning Path High-level Path Builder diagnostics determine individual student proficiencies at a given level and, more importantly, identify areas for remediation, which are then mapped out in a Learning Path for the student to work through towards mastery.
Adaptive Learning As each student progresses through the course, the MyLab evaluates that student’s results on each assessment and recommends new topics for study. If students are working in the Learning Path, the program adapts its recommendations based on their most recent performance. If you create assignments, the MyLab has your next assignment in mind and adapts its recommendations to help each student build toward that next assignment.
Our technology solutions are ideal for use in “fast track” programs that aim to reduce the time normally spent on the subject matter (e.g., a traditional 16-week semester taught in 8 weeks) and provide additional exit points for students as they demonstrate mastery of the material.

MyFoundationsLab
Adaptive Learning & Acceleration in MyFoundationsLab Students can get started in MyFoundationsLab by taking a Path Builder diagnostic test, designed to cover developmental math and English competencies. Based on their Path Builder results, students then receive a personalized set of content modules, in a format called the Learning Path. Each content module in a student’s Learning Path covers a general concept such as “Basic Grammar.” Once inside a module, a student can take a shorter diagnostic, called a Skills Check, which defines the exact smaller topics a student needs to understand in order to prove mastery for the module. These smaller topics, for example, might include “Verbs” or ideas related to the larger module concept.
