Many management information systems (MIS) faculty have adopted a project-oriented approach in their systems analysis and design courses. In these courses, students use a software development methodology to create a web or mobile application project, which can be based on a predefined case or developed for an external stakeholder. Because most…

In response to a large backlog of demand for data analytics expertise, universities are adding analytics courses and/or programs. Data visualization and exploration are among the pillars of the analytics curriculum and should be included in analytics programs. This article presents the philosophy, structure, and content of a data visualization and…

Differential equations are widely used tools for modelling the world around us, making a course in differential equations a natural place for students to connect concrete mathematical applications to abstract concepts. Since students grasp the concepts better by applying them, introducing differential equations through modelling becomes essential.…

A core component of teaching media literacy involves students analyzing and reflecting on how they use media in their daily lives. In this hands-on activity, college students play social media privacy bingo. Each square represents a different type of private information that they might choose to share on social media. The instructor calls out…

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how students' mathematics identities were developed and how their agency was fostered through the use of a mathematical action technology (MAT), Desmo, during stages of learning beyond noticing and wondering. The authors describe how they enacted an eighth-grade mathematics lesson depicting students…
