Incoming UW System students lagging in math skills got a big boost with the announcement of a new online course that has the potential to get more students to graduate in less time and at lower cost. A $50,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will be used at UW-La Crosse to develop a new “massive open online course,” or MOOC, that will give students the chance to improve their math skills without having to take remedial high school level courses in college. The MOOC will be free of charge and available to everyone.
