Colin M. Gray; Paul Parsons; Austin L. Toombs; Nancy Rasche; Mihaela Vorvoreanu – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2020
In this design case, we describe a multi-year process during which a team of faculty designed a four-year undergraduate major in user experience (UX) design at a large research-intensive institution. We document the program- and course-level design experiences of five faculty members. This multi-year process has culminated in a dual-strand,…

Royer, Dan W.; Baker, Russell D. – New Directions for Community Colleges, 2018
This chapter considers difficulties with traditionally organized developmental math course sequences from the literature and practice. We then report initial student success findings following the system-wide implementation of a corequisite model in developmental math.

Hjalmarson, Margret; Diefes-Dux, Heidi A.; Bowman, Keith; Zawojewski, Judith S. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2006
We have designed model-development sequences using a common context to provide authentic problem-solving experiences for first-year students. The model-development sequence takes a model-eliciting activity a step further by engaging students in the exploration and adaptation of a mathematical model (e.g., procedure, algorithm, method) for solving…
