Developing and Assessing Complex Stem Thinking

David Shaffer and Kris Scopinich. Shows tools that develop and measure complex STEM thinking: 1) a Virtual Internship Authoring system that lets teachers create and customize real-world learning scenarios; 2) Epistemic Network Analysis, which measures STEM thinking in student teams. Project: Epistemic Games Group This is a station in the Cyberlearning 2016 Gallery Walk.

Scalable, web-delivered supports to help students “Learn to Learn”

Matthew Bernacki. Many students enter STEM majors with insufficient learning skills for the challenging coursework they encounter. This project examines how web-delivered training on principles of learning can help students adjust their tactics & improve achievement. Project: Learning Analytics and Theory as Guides to Improve Undergraduate STEM Education This is a station in the Cyberlearning […]

Digital Tools for Representation-Based Proof

Andee Rubin. The Technology for Mathematical Argumentation project has explored digital tools with which elementary students can construct animated representation-based proofs of generalizations about arithmetic operations.
