This evaluation studied the role PLATO Learning played within a basic competency remediation program and in a peer tutor program at Western Harnett High School (WHHS) in Lillington, North Carolina in the spring 1998 semester. To graduate from North Carolina high schools, students must pass a basic competency examination. Those WHHS students failing the mathematics and reading competency tests in November 1997 were placed into remediation courses during the spring 1998 semester. In February, students in these courses were assessed using the PLATO (registered) FASTRACK program, and they participated in their individual PLATO curricula two or three times a week. When the students took the competency examination again at the end of April, 60% of the students in the mathematics program passed the mathematics portion of the competency examination and 43% of the students in the reading program passed the reading examination. In addition, PLATO software was used with individual students and their assigned peer tutors to help facilitate effective interaction between them. PLATO software was such a successful tool in the peer tutor program that it was not only used to help remediate those students in the competency program, but was also used to supplement the mathematics and reading lessons with other core subject area's lessons (science and Social Studies, for example), provide tutors and students an opportunity to preview or review difficult topics, assess the basic skill level of home school students, and other midsemester transfer students needing placement, and provide reading tutorials for English as a Second Language students.
