for this workshop
Impactful curriculum development in mathematics: open education resources for future research
at the
American Institute of Mathematics, Pasadena, California
organized by
Joe Hibdon, Lily Khadjavi, Drew Lewis, and Bianca Thompson
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will bring together authors and contributors of Open Education Resources (OERs); instructors of real world application in math courses; pedagogical experts; and experts in authoring OERs to collaborate on the development of real world application-focused OERs.
The goals of the workshop include:
- Accelerating progress on existing, in-development OERs, including the growing body of resources for introductory and quantitative reasoning courses,
- Generating collaborations aimed at the development of OERs for advanced math courses incorporating topics that are timely and impactful to communities,
- Building a long-term collaboration between instructors, authors, and researchers
The topics of the workshop include:
- Using open source tools (e.g. PreTeXt) to create and share open education resources available in various formats,
- Using asset-based mindsets necessary for teaching current topics,
- Equipping instructors with strategies for engaging in current topics and math in partnership with and in service to communities.
This event will be run as an AIM-style workshop. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions.
Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form no later than March 1, 2025.
Before submitting an application, please read the description of the AIM style of workshop.
