Roschelle, Jeremy; Feng, Mingyu; Murphy, Robert F.; Mason, Craig A. – Grantee Submission, 2016
In a randomized field trial with 2,850 seventh-grade mathematics students, we evaluated whether an educational technology intervention increased mathematics learning. Assigning homework is common yet sometimes controversial. Building on prior research on formative assessment and adaptive teaching, we predicted that combining an online homework…

DeNisco, Alison – District Administration, 2013
Woe unto the administrator who ventures forth into the homework wars. Scale it back, and parents will be at your door complaining about a lack of academic rigor.

Hibbard, Lisa; Sung, Shannon; Wells, Breche´ – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Flipped learning has come to the forefront in education. It maximizes learning by moving content delivery online, where learning can be self-paced, allowing for class time to focus on student-centered active learning. This five-year cross-sectional study assessed student performance in a college general chemistry for majors sequence taught by a…
