Using a Rubric from Pedagogical Partnership to Improve the Accessibility and Usability of Desmos Activities for Students in Calculus 1
Page: 1466
There was a successful departmental effort to improve the calculus DFWI rates at a midwestern university (Author & Author, 2021). To maintain this change during the pandemic, instructors developed Desmos-based activities to encourage student engagement and active learning. This platform allows students to interact with tools on activities designed by their instructors. Since the implementation, instructors sought feedback from the students on the digital experience. This study focuses on a partnership between the students and the instructors to develop a rubric to evaluate Desmos activities for the Calculus course.
