If you are interested in receiving additional information about the grant, learning more about Lumen and its courseware, or need support implementing the Lumen resources, please contact the Lumen team at lumen-mass@lumenlearning.com.
Innovative ways you can take advantage of this program:
- Adopt and assign Lumen course materials as the primary learning resource for your course(s).
- Assign Lumen’s materials as supplemental learning materials to provide extra practice in areas critical to students' success. Some examples include:
- Courses with which students struggle the most: For courses where students may struggle with math skills, use Lumen’s corequisite materials to provide them with extra practice that builds their math skills.
- Grammar and writing skill practice: For courses where students can use extra support with their writing, use Lumen’s Composition materials to provide them with extra practice in critical areas like grammar.
- Build study skills and life skills: For courses where students can use more support in building their study skills, use Lumen’s College Success materials to give them the tools that develop the basic skills they need to adjust to and succeed in college and beyond.
- Use Lumen’s courseware to implement and/or administer Placement Testing.
- OpenStax, Dana Center, and OER users: Adopt Lumen courseware that corresponds with and is aligned with your course.
- MyOpenMath users: Use Lumen courseware to have support available for you and your students.
