This page is about research and scholarly activity.
This year (AY 2022-2023) I am on sabbatical.
My current main professional and scholarly work is in these (overlapping) areas:
1) UC-Wide Online Calculus Sequence.
This includes
a) further improvements to the customized Ebook (in Achieve).
b) publications documenting our experiences teaching online calculus.
2) Equity
This includes
a) California Education Learning Lab Grand Challenge work (Overcoming the Calculus Barrier to STEM Success)
Cohort Facilitator Grant, California Education Learning Lab, 2021-2024, $500,000, Co-PI.
This grant was awarded as part of the Grand Challenge (https://calearninglab.org/grant/the-grand-challenge/): Overcoming the Calculus Barrier to STEM Success.
For details see here:
b) California Education Learning Lab seed grant work (Seeding Strategies to Close the Calculus Equity Gap)
Seeding Strategies Grant, California Education Learning Lab, 2022-2024, $100,000, Lead Co-PI.
This grant was awarded as part of the Learning Lab’s RFP “Seeding Strategies (I) to Close the Calculus Equity Gap”.
