PLATO and online resources
   

 

 

  • PLATO is a self-paced online computer tutorial with modules in math, reading, & writing.
  • PLATO allows students to study or review Math and Writing Skills. Math topics include basic math (fractions, percents, etc;) to intermediate algebra. Writing includes grammar, punctuation and organization of papers.
  • It is great for students who like to work on their own and have busy schedules! It is especially great for solitary learners and night owls!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each module contains three parts:

  • Tutorial – this thoroughly explains the concepts
  • Application – this allows you to practice the information you’ve learned
  • Mastery Test – 10 questions designed to determine if you understand the concepts and information presented

WHERE CAN I USE IT?

  • You can use PLATO at home as long as you have at least Windows 98, Intel Macintosh, and Internet Explorer 7.
  • There is an offline mode if you are working on a computer with a slower internet connection (like dial-up).
  • You can use it at YCCC in the Learning Center.
  • You can use it on your laptop anywhere!

SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT

  • Start by seeing Angela or Laura at the Learning Center (room B202) to get an account set up. They will help you choose a curriculum that is customized to your academic needs.

The YCCC Learning Center has been made possible by the generous financial support of many corporate and financial donors! Thank you for all your support for student success!
