Implementation Effort: Substantial

  • Engaging Students with Amplify

    Amplify Classroom provides students with opportunities to see mathematics in new ways and truly interact with it. Jill Vettrus would have a difficult time teaching without it.

  • Creating an AI Tutor to Support Precalculus Students When They Need It

    Recognizing that her precalculus students work full-time, have caregiving responsibilities, or face transportation barriers that prevent them from accessing an on-campus Math Center or an instructor’s student support hours, April Crenshaw has designed an AI tutor. This AI tutor provides 24/7 access to academic support, allowing students to get help when and where they need…

  • Using Field-Relevant Digital Tools for Coursework and Projects

    Maria Tackett, a professor of statistical science, uses a combination of RStudio, Quatro, and GitHub to achieve this for her Statistics 210: Regression Analysis students. GitHub allows students to collaborate and have version control over their work, and finish the class with a portfolio piece relevant to the broader statistics field. This shows students the…

  • Digital Assignments and Tools that Foster Inclusive Practices and Norms

    One of Professor Neil Garg’s assignments asks students to identify a problem in STEM education to solve through a digital solution. QR Chem, a mobile-device compatible digital molecular model tool, was created through this assignment to provide a free, more accessible alternative to physical molecular model kits, which are required for many chemistry courses.

  • Creative Assignments that Leverage Technology for Peer Collaboration

    Neil Garg, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry, assigns projects that ask students to translate chemistry concepts into creative exercises. In his organic chemistry music video assignment, he has students form groups to create music videos illustrating chemistry concepts that in turn teach their peers. More than 1200 students in Neil’s Chem 14D course have…
