Haven J. Cashwell; Karen S. McNeal – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2025
To improve climate education in an introductory weather and climate course, an active-learning lab was developed around a climate decision support system. The Climate Analysis and Visualization for the Assessment of Species Status (CAnVAS) tool allows individuals to view various climate variables and select a particular location and species to…

Melanie Magin – Communication Teacher, 2025
Courses: This paper presents a course design that aims to stimulate student ownership of learning. It was developed for a semester-long undergraduate course in political communication, but it is equally suitable for courses at graduate level and on other topics. The course design will unfold its potential best in classes with up to 30 students.…

Yinmiao Li; Xiaoyang Zhou; Daragh Byrne; Marti Louw – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Within creative domains in studio- and project-based education, documentation is often central to demonstrating outcomes, process, and progress. Despite much prior work into the instructional practices, technologies, and tools that support cultivating documentation practices, no prior work explores the student valuing and perception of…

Elise M. Walck-Shannon; Heather D. Barton; Shaina F. Rowell; Douglas L. Chalker; Angela Fink – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2025
Recently, our course team transformed a large-enrollment introductory genetics course from being predominantly lecture based to active learning based. During class sessions, students engaged in problem solving, which occurs when a student attempts to solve a problem without knowing the path to complete it. We designed class activities…

Casey R. Griffin – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Women continue to be underrepresented in undergraduate STEM majors. Prior studies identify women's sense of belonging, or the extent to which one feels like an accepted member of an academic community, as a key contributor to their decisions to stick with or leave their STEM majors. Women's social connectedness and perceived competence have been…
