Funded LITE Grant Projects: Faculty of Mathematics

Implementing a picture book design project in an undergraduate math course

Assessing social implications of discrimination in computing fields, assessing online versus in-person learning

Developing case studies for business forecasting

Using artistic story books to correct math misconceptions in undergraduate studies

Creating an automatic assessment tool for feedback on programming assignments

Creating comics to support learning in computer science courses

Preventing procrastination in computer science projects via early feedback

Integrating game-based learning in computer science and assessing efficacy

Research has shown that comics are beneficial to various aspects of student learning; however, there is little scholarship focusing specifically on university mathematics courses. This project aims to narrow this research gap and to introduce the use of an innovative pedagogical tool designed to augment students’ learning experience.

Studying flexible assessment and decision making in an introductory statistics course

Conducting a fully online computer science graduate seminar and assessing quality

Investigating the usage on online collaborative work and their role in reducing inequity in STEM

Examining the use of concreteness fading to improve CS courses

Piloting a competition of undergraduate video creation on statistical topics from introductory statistics courses

Implementing a case study competition, oral exams, and student feedback and reflection
