Project Outcomes

Creation of OER learning objects (videos and lab experiment materials) for Introductory Mechanics courses.

We employed new technologies (tablet video analysis and production) to physics learning in both entry level and advanced pedagogical methods classes in new ways, seeking to extend subject appeal to more students, including hopefully, traditionally underrepresented students. The intervention was iPad (Tablet) based, but we hope to extend to mainstream modern smart camera phones.

Project Outcome Report

Case studies for Problem Based Learning to support a music course, including student learning of rubric development.

Outcomes TBD (August 2016)

Use of software to understand and troubleshoot microcontrollers in lab settings

This project helps electrical and computer engineering students complete their microcontroller related courses in a more manageable way.

Project Outcome Report
Final Report

Provides remote web access to physical experiments to enable data collection for introductory physics courses.

Outcomes TBD (August 2016)

Encourages faculty use and assessment of multi-institutional adoption of OER materials aligned to course learning outcomes.

The impact OER has had on student learning has been impressive. At both Herkimer and TC3 (two of the project partners) there has been an increase in student class retention.
