Join the Research – Digital Promise

Join the Research

Digital Promise is seeking college and university chemistry faculty to join us in examining how interactive courseware, combined with equity-minded student-centered pedagogy, affect learning outcomes and student success. We are looking to establish one to two year partnerships with faculty, starting in Fall 2024.

As a part of this research, you will help advance the field’s understanding of how to enhance engagement and learning in General Chemistry, especially for low-income, Black, Latinx, and/or Indigenous students. Participating instructors will also receive support for learning how to implement the courseware effectively and an honorarium in recognition of their contribution to the research.

How to Join

If you are interested in joining this research project, please complete this form. Our team will reach out with next steps.

Completing this form does not require you nor your institution to participate if selected. Nor does it guarantee you or your institution will be selected to participate.
