Narrative
Enriching FAU Students’ Experience with Technology Education Reimagined - The Learning Assistant (LA) Program QEP The purpose of this project is to • continue providing Gradescope for students in LA classes • continue providing LA Campus As part of the QEP, Gradescope has been piloted during the Summer and Fall 2022 semesters in several math classes redesigned with the LA model. The system allows students to receive timely feedback on hand-written, submitted homework. Gradescope uses AI (artificial intelligence) to cut the grading time in half for student assignments, making it feasible for faculty, GTAs, or hired graders to provide much needed feedback and partial credit on student work. This Fall, we are supporting 735 students with Gradescope in their courses. The QEP is currently piloting LA Campus, a web-based software application for managing our LA program in a secure, singular location. LA Campus provides faculty course proposals for potential LAs to view, interviewing, scheduling and hiring tools, program best practices, and houses longitudinal data. Students applying to be LAs navigate courses supported by LAs with ease, while also being provided a clear understanding of expectations for supported courses. In 2022, we hired 30-55 LAs per semester and we expect this number to grow to 75-125 per semester as the program expands, making LA Campus a necessary tool in managing the sufficient hiring of LAs.
