Join Anne Fischer as she shares her philosophy behind her teaching methods, and how she has developed her course so that online students are as successful (or more successful) as in-person students.
Anne Fischer, Tulsa Community College
The COVID epidemic exponentially increased our need for flexible modalities to accommodate student needs. Unfortunately, the success rates for many students in strictly online classes lags behind their lecture course counterparts.
Come meet a professor who has taught online, on Zoom, and face-to-face developmental math courses all in the same semester. She will share with you what she has done, her philosophy behind her methods, and how she has developed her course so that online students are as successful (or more successful) as in-person students.

About the speaker
Anne Fischer, Tulsa Community College
Anne is an associate professor of mathematics and developmental studies at Tulsa Community College. As the director of the math tutoring lab, she found her love for helping mathematics students who lack a college-level skill set. Her goal each semester is to help her students to not 'hate' math and gain confidence in their ability to be successful in mathematics. She doesn’t ask them to love math, that’s too big a jump.
As a member of the Tobey/Slater series author team, she has created over 250 full-lesson videos designed for online developmental math learners to move from passive learning to active learning. She holds both a bachelor and Master of Science in mathematics and is a Certified Developmental Education Specialist. When she is not teaching, she loves to spend time on the lake with her grandchildren.
