Author Description

Presented by Rena Petrello and Cengage Learning, these DVDs feature 10- to 20-minute problem-solving lessons, covering learning objectives from every chapter of their accompanying text. Currently teaching at Moorpark College in California (the same community college Rena attended as a student), Petrello initiated and developed the first online mathematics courses at her college. It was through the online teaching experience that Rena discovered the lack of suitable content for online instructors, which caused her to develop her own video lessons--and ultimately create this video project. Petrello's videos recently won her the Aurora Award for Platinum Best in Show for an Educational Video, as well as many other nominations. She has also received a tremendous amount of enthusiastic, positive feedback from students and colleagues.
