Topic: ECoach is associated with (modest) gains in expected grades in General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry at Pitt
When: Monday, June 6th from 12 - 1 pm

The next dB-SERC lunch discussion will take place Monday, June 6th from 12 – 1 pm.  During this lunch discussion, Dr. Jessica Wandelt, Dr. Jennifer Ganger, and Dr. Kitty Liu  will give their second talk on their course transformation. The abstract is below:

We piloted ECoach, a personalized course coaching tool developed at the University of Michigan, here at Pitt. In two challenging STEM courses (General Chemistry 1 and Organic Chemistry 1), students who used ECoach more earned better grades than predicted by their overall GPAs compared to students who used it less.  We will describe the ECoach system, how we approached analyzing the student data, and what the future prospects for ECoach are at the University of Pittsburgh as we approach the end of our two-year pilot.
