Morrell, Lesley J. – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
Feedback is critically important to student learning, but the reduced frequency of assignments combined with isolated or stand-alone tasks reduces the opportunity for students to engage with feedback and use it effectively to enhance their learning. Here, I evaluate student attainment during a module consisting of eight iterated tasks where the…

Moozeh, Kimia; Farmer, Jennifer; Tihanyi, Deborah; Evans, Greg J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Information overload and limited laboratory time usually result in students focusing mostly on procedural tasks to get the results, rather than being engaged with what they are doing. Moreover, traditional laboratory curricula rarely provide students opportunities to repeat experiments. This study presents the design of a web-based application…

Schultz, Kelly M.; Snyder, Mark A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
A hands-on educational module was created to illustrate the scope of chemical engineering. Students are taught fundamental concepts that they integrate in a laboratory experience designing and fabricating a 'plant-on-a-chip' microfluidic device capable of continuous processing of reactive flows. Students gain insight into chemical engineering…

Scott Reynolds; Lee J. Rutledge; Jeff Edmison – Region 12 Comprehensive Center, 2020
The Region 12 Comprehensive Center conducted a national scan of formative assessment supports provided by state education agencies. The report presents common themes in formative assessment support, a series of supports by content and grade area as well as by modality of professional learning, and illustrative examples. It also examines…
