Impact of Digital Literacy Projects on Student Learning in a Mathematics Course
Track
Research Proposal / Learning Theories and Pedagogy
Abstract
Material retention, student motivation, communication skills and competency in employing digital media effectively were improved by imposing digital based team projects as part of the requirements in a senior mathematics course. For their projects, students had to produce tutorial videos, share them with their peers and comment effectively on others work trough an online platform. The efficiency of the study was assessed though grade comparison as well as student surveys. The results show an obvious increase in the performances of the students, a very positive impact on their motivation to learn and a significant improvement of their digital communication skills.
