Basic Skills Test Preparation Online System (BST-Prep) – The Basic Skills - Test Preparation was created to help teacher education students study for and pass the Basic Skills Test (BST). The Basic Skills - Test Preparation (BSTP) system is an interactive, web-based curriculum that contains content, examples, and questions for all three sub-areas of the BST (Reading Comprehension, Language Arts, and Mathematics). The BSTP includes a Learning Survey, which is designed to assist you in identifying what areas are your strengths as well as the areas in which you still need to work.  More information can be found at www.basicskillsprep.org.

Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) – 118 technology-infused instructional modules were developed through a federal PT3 grant which involved development partnerships between 12 community colleges and 4 universities.  The technology-infused modules are focused on the four core areas of the general education curriculum (Communications, Humanities, Math, and Science).  A Faculty website www.iccb.org/pt3 has been created for higher education faculty to access the modules and other resources for infusing technology into their curriculum. 

A Student website has also been developed for teacher preparation students at community colleges that allow students to apply what they have learned concerning technology and its role in the teaching and learning process. www.iccb.org/student.

Career & Academic Readiness System (CARS) – This CARS system provides an interactive and engaging curriculum for students to use to better prepare themselves for their academic studies in higher education. The CARS system will be available for community colleges to supplement their existing developmental education offerings, as well as provide a standalone system for students to use at a distance, for adult education providers to help students transition to higher education and career advancement and counseling, and for high schools to help their students prepare for college-level coursework.  More information can be found at http://iolr.iccb.org/.  Coming Fall 2010.
