The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to advance the state of practice of STEM courses. Certain techniques, known as evidence-based teaching (EBT), can improve performance for all STEM learners and narrow the achievement gaps, but 80% of STEM classrooms are still primarily lecture-based. This project will develop a digital course design tool enabling an instructor to quickly create and implement an exciting STEM course course. It will create and scale a plug-and-play library of high-quality assessment items and instructional resources in a way that instructors find empowering, easy to use, and valuable. This will be valuable during a period of remote learning, such as that created by the social distancing of the COVID-19 situation. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will support the development and testing of a system to distribute EBT course structure and content at scale. Active learning and high-structure courses produce better outcomes, and therefore this project focuses on dissemination of EBT curricula and course structures. The research objectives are to automate course design, and explore user requirements for the system to scale, and produce real-time feedback on student performance.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目的更广泛的影响是推进STEM课程的实践状态。某些被称为循证教学（EBT）的技术可以提高所有STEM学习者的表现，缩小成绩差距，但80%的STEM教室仍然主要以讲座为基础。该项目将开发一个数字课程设计工具，使教师能够快速创建和实施一个令人兴奋的STEM课程。它将创建和扩展一个高质量评估项目和教学资源的即插即用库，使教师能够找到授权，易于使用和有价值的方式。这在远程学习期间将是有价值的，例如COVID-19情况造成的社交距离。 这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将支持系统的开发和测试，以大规模分发EBT课程结构和内容。 主动学习和高结构课程产生更好的结果，因此，本项目的重点是EBT课程和课程结构的传播。 该研究的目标是自动化课程设计，并探索系统的规模，并产生实时反馈的学生performance.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
