Summer 2022

Virtual ALEKS Math Prep (VAMP) and Campus ALEKS Math Prep (CAMP)
Ran through the Gordon A. Cain Center for Stem Literacy and funded through the Cain Center and the LSU Department of Mathematics

VAMP -  Helped organize, develop curriculum, created online resources, and hosted office hours for an asynchronous summer camp designed to prepare incoming college students for college mathematics. The primary goal was to help students improve their ALEKS score (a math placement exam) to ensure students were placed in a math class that would allow them to succeed in college. We had nearly 280 participants enroll in VAMP. We developed virtual assessments using MyOpenMath which involved creating hundreds of practice problems to prepare students for their ALEKS exam.

CAMP - Gave daily lessons over the course of a 2 week all-day summer camp, a well as writing lesson plans and organizing learning activities for the participants. This program ran in conjunction with VAMP to allow students to succeed even if virtual learning was an obstacle.
