Boosting STEM Student Success Through Leveraging Technology and Providing Just-In-Time Content Remotely Accessible
This project, Boosting STEM Student Success (award#P120A210015), focuses on the four years of collegiate experience and three summers during the freshman through junior years of study. The project aims to enhance STEM student success by leveraging “just in time" learning, a method where individuals access information and training when needed, in a self-paced manner. This approach is gaining popularity as seen in platforms like LinkedIn Learning, Facebook Groups, and YouTube. The project will create asynchronous content available anytime, along with a virtual reality component to enhance the learning experience. The goal is to provide students with active learning opportunities and just in time feedback to address their questions and reinforce their understanding. This project recognizes the importance of active engagement in STEM fields and the need to provide students with the tools and resources they need to succeed.
