Implementation Effort: Light

Using Daily Warm-up Questions to Activate Prior Knowledge

March 3, 2026

Reviewing a previous class day’s notes through a warm-up question allows an instructor to simultaneously re-emphasize important material and activate students’ prior knowledge. This can deepen understanding and enhance connections with new material.
Online Graphing Calculators Support Students to Focus on Mathematical Patterns

March 3, 2026

Using an online graphing calculator can allow students to quickly see mathematical patterns, without the risk of being distracted by minor calculation errors or mistakes plotting points by hand.
Using an Online Simulation to Connect Linear Equations and Electrical Circuits

March 3, 2026

Active learning through online simulations and explorations increases student participation, moving them beyond receiving information to creating knowledge. This particular example builds connections between the theory of solving one-step linear equations and the application of Ohm’s law and electric circuits.
Study Skills Videos Support Student Development of Learning Strategies

February 19, 2026

This study skills video series is designed to support students enrolled in developmental and introductory mathematics courses or corequisite courses. The videos serve students early in their math sequence and focus on building learning strategies, confidence, and persistence rather than introducing new mathematical content.
Student-designed AI Chatbot Lab Teaches Both Math Content and AI Literacy

February 19, 2026

This activity is implemented as a low-stakes lab designed to support conceptual understanding of challenging integration techniques while simultaneously teaching responsible, effective use of generative AI as a learning tool.
Structured Online Discussions in Calculus

February 19, 2026

Students engage in a structured online discussion process designed to deepen understanding and foster community.
Welcoming Students and Setting Them up for Success

February 19, 2026

Jennifer Byall encourages students to get off to a strong start through early communication and suggestions prior to the first day of classes.
Using Practice Exams to Increase Proficiency and Reduce Anxiety

February 18, 2026

Online practice exams create transparency around exam format and identify areas where students should practice more before the actual exam.
Testing Probabilistic Intuition Using Thousands of Trials in a Digital Environment

October 29, 2025

Students are directly engaged through hands-on coding and experimentation in R, rather than passively receiving information. They create simulations, run trials, visualize outcomes, and dynamically explore probabilistic concepts, thus becoming deeply embedded in their own learning process.
Learning About Students Through an Introductory Online Survey

October 29, 2025

In recent years, Latulippe has begun using a brief online introductory survey to get to know a little bit more about students in her courses. She uses Microsoft Forms, but there are many other digital survey tools available including Qualtrics, Google Forms, Survey Monkey, or a quiz built into your LMS or online homework system.
