| Leveraging Digital Media in the Mathematics Classroom: Early Experiences with NROC’s Algebra 1—An Open Course. | Join us to hear how schools are adapting the rich digital media in NROC’s new math curriculum to meet the needs of a variety of learners. Early pilot sites have experimented with the materials in credit recovery, independent study, and introductory Algebra classes. The resources are being used to support new models of instruction in computer labs, blended classrooms, and virtual learning environments. Learn about early results and ongoing plans for maximizing the impact of these new resources. | Feb 2012 |
| Flipping the Classroom with Digital Media Content | How do you spend your class time? Today, many educators feel that lectures should be viewed at home, while time at school should be spent engaged in activites, discussions, and 1-on-1 help from the teacher. This webinar will explore how instructors are using HippoCampus media, including videos from NROC and Sal Khan, to flip the classroom and increase student engagement, participation, and success. | Jan 2012 |
| Building Bridges: New Mathematics Resources for Developmental Educators | Special HACU-sponsored (Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities) webinar. This webinar will provide an update on the status of the NROC’s highly anticipated Developmental Math—An Open Program, a project funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to help underserved populations make the transition to college studies. The session will offer an overview of focus group research that has informed the project to date, share a demo of the Arithmetic beta, and preview of the next steps in the research — a pilot program. Plans for a bilingual version of the content will be shared. | Dec 2011 |

| NEXT PRACTICES - PD: "Using Open Source GeoGebra to Teach Math" | Guest Mike May will lead a session on the use of the open source software, GeoGebra. Mike will share many examples from the GeoGebra Open Source Community and talk about how to use GeoGebra for teaching math at all levels. | Nov 2011 |
| Leveraging Technology to Increase Student Success | Learn more about a successful course redesign effort at the University of Utah leveraging Open Education Resources. Combining free textbooks, instructional videos, on-line quizzes, electronically graded homework assignments and practice exams, ChemVantage is a learning resource that supports face-to-face, hybrid or fully on-line General Chemistry classes. ChemVantage founder Chuck Wight will demonstrate how built-in learner analytics helps instructors to identify problems quickly, keep students on track automatically, and identify specific topics where students are having difficulty mastering expected outcomes. The impact of such homework on the in-class environment will also be discussed. | Oct 2011 |
| The New HippoCampus: New Collections, More Subject Areas, New Look | Over the past four and a half years, HippoCampus.org has grown to serve, on average, a quarter million teachers and learners every month. Originally intended as a homework help site for students, it was quickly discvered that, of those quarter million users, over half were teachers projecting HippoCampus content into their classrooms. To better meet the needs of teachers and NROC Network members, HippoCampus has been redesigned to accommodate new content collections, highlight discipline-specific resources, and enable the creation and sharing of custom “playlists”. | Sep 2011 |
