What's Coming Up
- We will be rolling out a problem bank hosted in a program called Mobius in October 2020. Mobius will include our original problems but also problems from their bank of thousands of problems for STEM courses. Faculty who value OER and want to be textbook-agnostic will find the features for students and instructors particularly valuable.
- More Kahoot activities will be created and available in November 2020. The next round will include college algebra and trigonometry topics.
- A multi-session workshop is being developed for science faculty who want to teach with flexible assessment and flipped learning. It will be available to members only later in 2020.
