Academic Systems Algebra is a new online computerized way to teach algebra to students at the college level. Western Oklahoma State College has been implementing this new way to teach math. The new program allows the school to offer two of its introductory algebra class to students with the Academic Systems Algebra program.

This program is great for distance learners because it offers visuals for math online. It is not only good for distance learners, but also students who attend school because they are able to to take either one of the algebra classes offered with this program with only one instructor present.At Western Oklahoma State College math instructor Larray Huntzinger said, “the “stacked” class format allows the college to offer more choices to students, keeps classes fuller, and makes better use of faculty.”

Overall the Academic Systems Algebra helps all types of students and professors. The program is a good teaching tool and is accessible for students, as well as professors.
