Expertise

Projects: 

Kevin’s projects included the development of educational tools and resources; knowledge mobilization of evidence-based pedagogies; multidisciplinary and international teacher professional development.

  1. DALITE
    DALITE is a tool designed in collaboration with the CIPhER research team. It is a web-bases learning platform that provides students with an asynchronous version of peer instruction.
  2. SSHRC Grant (YEAR-AR)
    Co-applicant in a multi-institutional, inter-provincial, team of researchers, practitioners and corporate partners to investigates and promotes the use of evidence-based pedagogies and how best to leverage the affordances of educational technologies to support collaborative learning in the SSHRC-CCSIF funding project: Leveraging new paradigms and disruptive technologies to successfully orchestrate pedagogical change. (SSHRC – Social Science & Humanities Research Council)
  3. Implementation of Active Learning Strategies
    Strategies include: Flipped Classroom, Peer Instruction, Conceptual maps, and the use of student-generated videos.

Contributions

STEM Physics

Mass of A Car

Students measure the mass of a car using diagrams to find equations of motion describing stages - acceleration & deceleration

STEM Physics

Bottle Rocket Tracker

Using video and Tracker software, students learn to analyze and fit equations of motion to raw data.

STEM Physics

Falling Object Tracker

Through this activity students analyze 1D kinematic problems & see examples of both constant velocity and acceleration.
