Improving Project Success in an Online Mathematics Course

“…Student success in online courses has been studied from the standpoints of individual reflections by the faculty who teach them, sets of classes by the same professor(s), and larger group studies of faculty and/or students ( [1], [11], [14], [21], [22]). Active learning within groups in online courses has been explored in various studies ( [8], [12], [29]).…”

An Overview of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Mathematics

“…It will present the origins of SoTL and offer a definition that sets SoTL apart from good teaching, scholarly teaching, and, to the extent possible, research in undergraduate mathematics education. It will provide a taxonomy of SoTL questions and several examples of SoTL investigations involving one or both of the authors that have been made public in ways that range from presentations at various conferences to an article that has appeared in this journal [16]. A "teaching problem" encountered by one of the authors that resulted in the generation of a new assignment is described along with an explanation of how that assignment could be used to initiate a SoTL investigation.…”
