(NASDAQ: TUTR), a leading provider of computer-based and e-learning solutions, announced that North Seattle Community College (NSCC) will continue its 10-year partnership with PLATO Learning by transitioning to the company's newest online software for post-secondary-Academic Systems Algebra-to support the college's developmental mathematics courses. The mathematics series provides students at the Seattle, Wash., college with greater opportunities to understand, master, and apply the principles of algebra in a flexible, self-paced, and anytime/anywhere online format. "We are thrilled with the possibilities that the Academic Systems Algebra solution affords us," said Denise Brannan, mathematics instructor for NSCC. "It was time to upgrade our capabilities, and our new computer-based and distance learning programs provide our students the flexibility to take lecture or online-courses, enroll full- or part-time, and excel at their own pace. As a result, our students are succeeding in ways they were previously unable." NSCC proactively responded to students' changing needs-including greater accessibility and schedule flexibility-by creating both distance learning and hybrid programs using Academic Systems Algebra. And since spring 2008, NSCC has utilized Academic Systems Algebra to instruct more than 200 students enrolled in basic, elementary, and intermediate algebra courses.
