The Digital Collaboration Faculty Fellowship aims to increase student success in developmental education and beyond by creating a framework and virtual space for instructors to share their instructional materials, learning objects, modules, OER (open educational resources), and pedagogical strategies across disciplines and departments.

Nineteen faculty members from four departments have participated in the project sharing well over 130 learning objects and curricular materials digitally thus far. Specifically, participants have contributed:

  • Online training for tutors,
  • Self-paced online placement test preparation resources for new students wishing to begin math or writing courses,
  • Countless screencasts, interactive web-based lessons and practice activities, study guides, Prezis, Haiku Decks, Moodle quizzes and assignments, and even entire courses, 
  • Instructional materials for use in online, hybrid and traditional face-to-face courses, and
  • Commentary on the pedagogical uses of multifarious tools in developmental education.
