Have you had an opportunity to check out our office’s Innovation in Instruction website?
On this website, you’ll find dozens of examples of innovative projects that A&S faculty have designed and facilitated. For many of these endeavors, faculty partnered with the A&S Office of EdTech, NYU IT, and other offices to help actualize exciting learning projects that have enriched students’ experiences.
Some project highlights include:
- Professor Marc Lieberman “flipping” the recitation sections for multiple large lecture Macroeconomics courses.
- Professor Natalia Andrievskikh partnered with the A&S Office of EdTech to design a final assessment that required Expository Writing Program (EWP) students at Tandon to “actualize” hypothetical objects with 3D designs.
- Professor Joanna Klukowska leveraging Jupyter notebooks to introduce the Python programming language to students with minimal to no experience in coding.
- Professors Xiaohong Hou (Chinese), Eunju Na (Korean), and Kayo Nonaka (Japanese) linking students across East Asian Studies (EAS) through project-based learning.
- Professor Michael Beckerman collaborated with the A&S Office of EdTech to create a musical geographies project where students learned to use Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology as both a research and narrative tool to explore Dvořák.’
We’re regularly updating the website, so please reach out if you have an innovative idea you’d like to partner with us on, or if you have a project you’d like to see featured. We’re currently working on multiple concurrent projects involving contract grading, educational animations, and others. Collaborations like these will be featured on the site in the not-so-distant future.
