I-Corps: InkSurvey: A Web-based Digital Ink Assessment Tool

这个项目建立在一个创新的教学工具的基础研究上，将这个工具变成一个有吸引力的、可靠的、商业上可行的产品，供全世界的教育者使用。该项目确定了将该工具过渡到更大市场的最佳路径。该工具已被证明对改善本科STEM课程和其他课程的学习有积极影响。凭借广泛的理论基础，技术支持的工具可以揭示学生在努力掌握新材料时是如何思考的。这些关于学生如何学习STEM概念和过程的见解可能对教育研究和课堂实践产生深远的影响。这种独立于学科的教学工具允许包容的课堂交流，不受学生性别、种族、残疾、年龄或技能水平的限制，并鼓励原本不情愿的参与者更积极地参与课堂，即使是在更大的入学率下。通过实施课堂实践，体现学生如何学习的知识，积极地让学生参与更高水平的思维技能，并告知教学，使用该产品将有助于培养一支更好地迎接21世纪挑战的劳动力队伍。

This project builds on fundamental research about an innovative pedagogical tool, moving that tool toward being an attractive, reliable, commercially-viable product available to educators worldwide. This project determines the optimal path for transitioning the tool to a greater market. The tool has been shown to have a positive effect on improving learning in undergraduate STEM courses and elsewhere. With broad theoretical foundations, technology-enabled tool provides revealing glimpses into how students think as they struggle to master new material. These insights into how students learn STEM concepts and processes could have far-reaching implications in educational research and classroom practices. This discipline-independent pedagogical tool allows inclusive classroom communication, blind to student gender, ethnicity, disability, age or skill level, and encourages otherwise reluctant participants to be more actively engaged in the classroom, even with larger (60) enrollments. By implementing classroom practices that embody what is known about how students learn, actively engaging students in higher-level thinking skills, and informing instruction, use of the product will help create a workforce better prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
