Using an adaptive/active model to promote student success

This session will discuss the benefits of using an adaptive/active model as a mutualistic approach to promote student engagement and success in large biology courses. This model offers an affordable eTextbook supported on an adaptive platform combined with low-cost big impact activities in the classroom. The use of this model at ASU has been continuously successful since 2015 with 90 % of the students getting a C or above compared to lecture alone at 74%. The use of creative solutions on how to adapt this model to large online classes delivered synchronous or asynchronous will also be explored.
