Teagle Courseware Development

Funded By

The 's initiative supporting consortial projects that further the use of blended (or "hybrid") learning to enhance teaching and learning at liberal arts colleges.

Project Period

July 2014 - June 2017

Project Goals

  • Developing a set of online instructional materials that can be used to develop a hybrid (or "blended") approach to Psychology Research Methods and Statistics (Psych RMS). These materials will be published as open educational resources (OER) that instructors and individual learners at any college, university and community college could use at no cost.
  • Improving student mastery in psychology research methods and statistics through a blended approach, which enables students to practice, assess, and get feedback on concepts and skills online at their own pace and can help faculty differentiate learning data to meet the wide range of prior experience, math skill and confidence levels common in this introductory course.
  • Test and report on a model for collaborative development that liberal arts college faculty can use to develop the online, interactive educational resources needed to support hybrid learning in other areas that are inadequately served by commercial and OER publishers.
