This $374,120 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to characterize the help resource landscape available to students in computing courses and understand how students from different backgrounds seek and utilize these resources. The project at North Carolina State University (NC State) has three primary goals: 1) Describe the current help resource landscape in computing courses, 2) Understand students' help-seeking...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to transform introductory social sciences education by integrating modern digital skills into the Introduction to Psychology course. The $399,747 project, running from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will redesign the course to teach essential digital workforce skills like data analytics, programming, and web development alongside core psychology concepts. By emphasizing...
This $324,986 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to study the complex help resource landscape available to students in computing courses and how students navigate this landscape. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CHARACTERIZING AND EMPOWERING STUDENT SUCCESS WHEN TRAVERSING THE ACADEMIC HELP LANDSCAPE," has three primary goals: 1) characterize the help resource...
This $323,388 award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project to examine how smart technological environments can be optimized to augment collective learning and creativity. The research aims to investigate the parameters that drive group-directed learning in three key areas: cooperative behavior, collective intelligence, and collective creativity. The project involves large-scale...
