History:
In 1989 Dana Mosely was selected as the video instructor in mathematics for the College Division of publisher D.C. Heath and Company. At the time Dana was teaching at Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida. The relationship with D.C. Heath involved contracts to produce video programs corresponding with college level mathematics textbooks.

Over the next several years many programs were completed and some of them were designed to remediate students in preparation for College Algebra and other college math subjects. The content of those courses corresponds almost exactly with the content of high school courses so the idea to re-purpose the lower level college video programs and couple them with related textbooks and solutions guides for homeschoolers emerged and permissions were acquired to go forward with the idea.

Chalk Dust Company was incorporated in 1994 for the purpose of offering high quality mathematics instruction on videotape to homeschooled students and a variety of other users. The first course offered was Algebra II. Additional courses were added over the next several years and the most recent was Statistics which joined the product mix in 2011.

Focus:
Supporting the effective learning process for the student remains the primary focus in making decisions concerning Chalk Dust product development. We feel that the combination of quality DVD instruction, understandable textbook examples, a solutions guide with step-by-step solutions to problems in the text, and personal help when needed via telephone or the internet, provide the most comprehensive and effective distance-learning environment.
