This course is designed to be used as a corequisite solution or as a traditional College Algebra course with plenty of additional support for those students struggling with prerequisite skills. Each module begins with a “Review Topics for Success” section in which critical topics from the developmental algebra series are examined. Additionally, just-in-time review of developmental math concepts appear throughout the text to help those students who need further learning support. The course includes embedded algorithmically generated practice questions, worked-example videos, interactive pathway activities, and a complete set of outcome aligned online assessments through Lumen OHM.

This course was developed by Lumen Learning and Deborah Devlin of Frostburg State University in Maryland. Primary source materials for this course include the OpenStax textbooks, College Algebra and Precalculus by Jay Abramson, et al., Developmental Math an Open Program by Monterey Institute of Technology and Education, and mathispower4u.com tutorials by James Sousa.
