For my EDM Colleagues,
This year at EDM there were two papers by non WPI folks that used the open
data sets of ASSISTments. Sometimes these EDM models will generate
hypotheses about ways you could improve student learning. I am proud to
announce that Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) a new round of funding
from the National Science Foundation to help researchers who have ideas to
improve K-12 education, implement them in ASSISTments. WPI has been running
the ASSISTments platform for eight years, which currently has 50,000
students that using it as part of their classroom as well as for homework.
Researchers from a ten universities, including Harvard, Berkeley,
Vanderbilt, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, University of Notre Dame, and
University of Illinois-Chicago, have partnered with WPI to conduct studies
using ASSISTments. Now it is time to get you involved!
If you are interested to learn more, there is a webinar on Monday July 28th
at 12:00 noon eastern time zone:
https://sites.google.com/site/neilheffernanscv/webinar. Our goal is to help
researchers from across the country in conducting studies suitable for
publication in peer-reviewed journals.
ASSISTments is, and will always be, a free public service of WPI. Please
sign up to learn more how you, your post docs and graduate student can take
advantage of this valuable service.
If you cannot attend the Monday webinar but wish to view it - sign up and
we will send it to you.
Sincerely,
Professor Neil Heffernan
P.S. WPI is anticipating to have a tenure track slot in Learning Sciences &
Technologies PhD program in 2015-16.--
