Project Outcomes

Template creation to support transforming beginning-level courses from traditional, face-to-face teaching/learning formats to a hybrid, Quia-powered online model. Includes adopting ACTFL-based proficiency measurements to the design of learning outcomes, curricula, and paradigms for assessing the effectiveness of hybrid learning in four foreign language skills: speaking, writing, listening and reading.

Evaluation report and presentation of three semester pilot measuring hybrid effectiveness indicated that STAMP measures could not predictably indicate proficiency, but a significant majority (73%) of students valued that the hybrid format provided them the ability to tailor some of their own learning according to their professional interests and learning needs.

Assessment of ERIN (Educational Resources in Neuroscience) to Investigate the utility as an ancillary to primary classroom instruction in a variety of related courses (e.g. Biopsychology, Behavioral Pharmacology, Behavior Genetics).

The Cyber Technology Laboratory Manual is well under development with the authors considering a SUNY Open Textbook. There is significant progress to date on the Cyber Technology Laboratory Manual. Seven chapters are complete (pending final editing). Two additional chapters are in progress. With a 14 chapter goal (minimum), this document is nearing the halfway point of completion. Finalization of the project is anticipated before the end of 2013. SUNY Geneseo anticipates launching the course beginning in the fall of 2014. We are considering a proposal to the SUNY Open Textbooks initiative.

Computer mediated technology to support undergraduate research mentoring and exploration of technology use in faculty development.

Recommendations for use of virtual tools for mentorship is available in outcomes report

Creation of a platform for collaborative textual annotation, enabling individuals across multiple courses, campuses, levels of expertise, and intellectual approaches to engage in rich, vibrant, multi-layered conversation around a single text.

The project website describes the process, and the Chronicle of Higher Education article provides a very good overview.

Creation of a gamification prototype for use in Western Civilization and European history courses in which students will guide the development of France from the time of Clovis to the present day with students making decisions reflective of the government’s expanding purpose and power over time.
