Khan Academy Demonstration Project

Presenters: Stafford Peat, Senior Consultant Monnica Chan, Director of Policy and Research

NEBHE Leader Forum & Fall Board Meeting September 13th, 2012

Overview •  Lumina Foundation awarded NEBHE a three-year grant

to demonstrate the effectiveness of using Khan Academy math content and online tools to improve developmental math outcomes

•  Over three years NEBHE plans to work with staff from 8-12 community colleges

•  Targets traditional and non-traditional developmental math courses (multiple levels) and pre-matriculation programs as pilots

•  Supports on-going developmental education reforms

NEBHE Developmental Math Project 2

Project Goals

•  Increase postsecondary persistence and success in developmental math courses using Khan Academy platform

•  Drive reform of developmental math instruction using new no cost tools

•  Create regional engagement to promote and support developmental education reform

•  Generate high-impact data and research findings and expand knowledge of new approaches


Project Goals (cont.)

•  Have college faculty use “Flipped Classroom” strategizes in their developmental math and determine their effectiveness and under what conditions

•  Produce a NEBHE document that documents findings and best practices

•  Use demonstration project to enhance Khan’s usefulness for postsecondary education


• Research existing NE innovative DM courses, syllabi/formats • Begin mapping and aligning Khan

online resources/Common Core to a set of identified DM models

Project Rollout


Anticipate serving 200-250

students in Spring and Summer semesters

December: Orient and train up to 25 college staff participating in

Cohort 1 November: Recruit

and select first of two cohorts of four-

six community college sites

Host Fall Board meeting Information

session

October: Informational

Webinar

Incentives for Colleges to Participate

•  Khan Academy is no cost vs. other CAI programs

•  Khan can be used in a variety of instructional settings and pedagogical approaches

•  NEBHE will provide coaching and ongoing technical assistance and support

•  Tiered pilot site incentives based upon number of students. Funds can be used to defray costs including data collection or staff travel. Funds can be also used for other purposes to be determined by pilot institution

•  Faculty stipends @$250 per course to compensate for additional time
