Project Outcomes
Virtual Infrastructure for Data Intensive Analysis (VIDIA)
Steven M. Gallo
University at Buffalo
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier Three
Amount of Award:$58,000.00
- Open Educational Resources (OER)
Partnering of supercomputing infrastructure and data scientists to support undergraduate education through use OER visualization tools.
A SUNY Research Foundation "Learning Tuesdays" talk describes the VIDIA project in detail (Scroll to VIDIA specific talk at 22 minutes). Can be viewed here.
A Hybrid Approach for Teaching Calculus
James M. Pitarresi
Binghamton University
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier Two
Amount of Award:$20,000.00
- Open Educational Resources (OER)
Calculus hybrid and flipped module development to support best practices, employ a pre-calculus screening exam for early identification and focused remediation for students with weak skills, and creation of targeted tutorials to keep students "on-track"
The classroom model we developed is now being used in all sections of Calculus 1 at Binghamton, and we are developing a process to train instructors in this method. With a little more development, we should be ready to publicize it more broadly and help other institutions adopt it.
