This group is for fac­ulty who are par­tic­i­pat­ing in the roll­out of WeB­WorK. We are work­ing to­gether to: Cre­ate in­struc­tional doc­u­ments for the WeB­WorK end-users (both fac­ulty and stu­dents), De­velop cre­ative prob­lems for core Math courses, Evolve ex­ist­ing prob­lems in order to en­hance their ed­u­ca­tional value to stu­dents, Stream­line the man­age­ment of the WeB­WorK sys­tem, Pro­vide tech­ni­cal sup­port and re­spond to user feed­back in order to im­prove every­one’s ex­pe­ri­ence of WeB­WorK.

This group is for faculty who are participating in the rollout of WeBWorK. We are working together to: Create instructional documents for the WeBWorK end-users (both faculty and students), Develop creative problems for core Math courses, Evolve existing problems in order to enhance their educational value to students, Streamline the management of the WeBWorK system, Provide technical support and respond to user feedback in order to improve everyone’s experience of WeBWorK.

“Open­ing Gate­ways to Com­ple­tion: Open Dig­i­tal Ped­a­go­gies for Stu­dent Suc­cess in STEM” is a 5-year, $3.2 mil­lion grant funded by the U.S. De­part­ment of Ed­u­ca­tion’s Sup­port­ing His­panic-Serv­ing In­sti­tu­tions pro­gram (Title V). The goal is to sup­port stu­dent suc­cess in math­e­mat­ics courses that serve as gate­ways to STEM dis­ci­plines, courses that often act as bar­ri­ers to progress and com­ple­tion in these dis­ci­plines. The pro­ject, awarded jointly to the New York City Col­lege of Tech­nol­ogy (lead) and the Bor­ough of Man­hat­tan Com­mu­nity Col­lege (part­ner) in 2015, brings the two in­sti­tu­tions to­gether in a cross-cam­pus col­lab­o­ra­tion that will in­tro­duce open-source dig­i­tal tech­nolo­gies, open ed­u­ca­tional re­sources, and ac­tive learn­ing ped­a­go­gies into the se­quence of high-en­roll­ment math­e­mat­ics courses re­quired for STEM dis­ci­plines at each col­lege.

“Opening Gateways to Completion: Open Digital Pedagogies for Student Success in STEM” is a 5-year, $3.2 million grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Supporting Hispanic-Serving Institutions program (Title V). The goal is to support student success in mathematics courses that serve as gateways to STEM disciplines, courses that often act as barriers to progress and completion in these disciplines. The project, awarded jointly to the New York City College of Technology (lead) and the Borough of Manhattan Community College (partner) in 2015, brings the two institutions together in a cross-campus collaboration that will introduce open-source digital technologies, open educational resources, and active learning pedagogies into the sequence of high-enrollment mathematics courses required for STEM disciplines at each college.
