Project Outcomes

Development, implementation and assessment of technologies (SMS, social media, lecture capture) that enhance student success by increasing interactivity, accessibility, and options in SUNY Potsdam's large enrollment history hybrid courses.

Course redesign effort demonstrated a total .69 gain in grade outcomes when coupled to social media use as detailed in presentations, as well as student perceptions of use and convenience of social media course integration.

Use of iPads to sketch out melodies without constraints of formal composition notation tools, and develop an app.

A full download of the source code for app development is available.

Pilot program to engage undergraduate students in authentic science and engineering by developing and using modern cybertools. Supports and engages high school and at-risk students in STEM based learning.

Exercises to promote STEM understanding are in the report.

Development of an innovative web-based game situated within an online science learning community. Enviropedia, will emphasize the connections between science and society by focusing on beverage container choice.

The game is available for play here to demonstrate that by concentrating on containers with the larger carbon footprint points are accumulated more rapidly. Additional teaching materials are available.

Use of e-Portfolio to ensure a meaningful, academically rigorous outcome from internships, including a template based upon standards and goals of experiential learning and a website which connects students with a Long Island Alternative Energy Consortium of seven academic institutions dedicated to strengthening energy education.

A 16 minutes video describes project outcomes, and the value of using ePortfolio in engineering education is described with data and outcomes.
