During the summer of 2000, a five-week web-based math course was implemented using the BlackBoard CourseInfo TM software. The course was created to improve the math skills of freshmen engineering students, and to prepare them for the math placement exams. The goal of the online course was to make sure that none of the students placed in the Math 106 - Basic Algebra remedial course. The results of the program which had 13 participants were excellent: 7 students placed in Math-241 (Calculus I) and 6 students placed in Math-141, which is one semester Pre-Calculus course. Plans are on the way to expand the program and offer the course to 50-75 students next summer.
