This project aims to provide professional development resources for faculty in the Calculus sequence.
This project develops a set of applied math labs, instructional resources, and revises course sequences to blend calculus, probability, and discrete math.
The focus of this project will be on developing realistic (context-driven) curricular innovations to transform Calculus I students’ experience at CSULB.
This project will develop a mobile-first online Calculus course shell that will be made freely available on Canvas Commons.
This project will implement standards-based grading in multiple sections of Calculus I at California State University, Monterey Bay and at Hartnell College.
Calc-Boost will leverage the support of trained peer educators, personalized study modules, and active learning sessions in inter-semester programming to boost success for students transitioning from Calculus I to Calculus II.
This project will redesign introductory calculus courses to focus on conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills by incorporating innovative approaches to teaching and learning calculus.
This project will develop a new calculus for life sciences course that incorporates culturally responsive pedagogy, contextualization of mathematical content, active and adaptive learning, gamification, and utility value (UV) interventions.
The BioCalc PEA program will will provide first-year experiences (FYEs) and Summer Academies, develop a revamped BioCalculus curriculum, and incorporate Calculus-based mathematical modeling and computation into several upper-division BioSci courses.
An initiative of the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research in partnership with the Foundation for California Community Colleges, Learning Lab aims to improve learning outcomes and close equity gaps across California’s public higher education segments, particularly in the STEM disciplines, by leveraging technology tools and the science of human learning to foster student success in online and hybrid course environments.
