Interview 3: “MyMathLab: Redesigning College Mathematics”
Interviewer: Thane Kerner
“The higher education market is quickly evolving to digital delivery. The key difference between digital and traditional delivery is digital’s capacity to provide assessment and feedback for the student. Tobin describes the current market in higher education mathematics, with a special focus on developmental math, and looks at how an online homework and tutorial program called MyMathLab has become a popular and effective way to raise students’ performance in mathematics. Lessons for the academic publishing arena will then be highlighted in discussion.”
