This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $212,613 to East Carolina University to develop curriculum materials and conduct research to prepare future middle and high school mathematics teachers to effectively use web-based dynamic geometry technology tools when leading discussions on geometry concepts. The three main goals are: 1) creating online modules to train future teachers on facilitating productive mathematics discussions...

This $115,335 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of the Distributed Open Education Network (DOENET) platform by Cornell University. DOENET aims to empower faculty to design and test online learning experiments for open educational mathematics content. It will provide tools for authoring interactive content, conducting educational research using that content, and discovering effective content based on research results. The platform reduces barriers to developing...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant of $632,122 aims to develop curricular packages for teaching about teaching college mathematics and build understanding of the knowledge, skills, and communities that faculty who provide teaching-focused professional development (TPD) need to grow as provider-scholars and leaders. The project will assemble lessons from a library of TPD activities, create assessments of learning about teaching, and train new TPD...

This $266,986 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will support the development of educational modules and a content hub for hands-on, exploration-based learning in data systems. The University of Chicago will create a collection of "courselets" - scaffolded educational modules executable on open cloud testbeds - covering topics such as data acquisition, networking, storage, machine learning, analytics, and...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070), provides $174,998 to develop a set of educational modules called "courselets" focused on data systems. The University of California, San Diego will create courselets based on literate programming concepts that allow students to complete hands-on exercises exploring data acquisition,...

This NSF STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant award of $147,103 to the University of Maine System aims to develop curricular packages for learning about teaching college mathematics and build understanding of the knowledge, skills, and communities that providers (faculty who provide teaching-focused professional development) develop as they grow professionally into provider-scholars and stewards. The project will create a library of activities and assessments for teaching graduate students...

This $400,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and evaluate the T-PRACTISE system, a framework for fostering engaged asynchronous online and hybrid learning among diverse students, such as adult learners. The project plans to: 1) design, implement, and pilot a proof-of-concept T-PRACTISE system to reduce training and engagement disparities in an asynchronous online environment; 2) adapt and extend...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $344,869 to Tufts University to develop and implement professional development for Learning Assistants (LAs) to improve their facilitation of student learning in active learning STEM courses. The key objectives are to design and implement a new LA pedagogy course sequence based on recent research (Goal 1) and investigate how this pedagogy sequence impacts LA facilitation...
