SUMMARY:iUSE: Innovations in STEM Education\, Session 3
DESCRIPTION:Featuring David Pritchard\, Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Ph
	ysics at MIT\n\nMeasuring Impacts with Interactive\, Web-based Tutorials Ad
	vances in computer technology have revolutionized science instruction in a 
	multitude of ways\, e.g. through the use of simulations or by providing ind
	ividualized learning assistance.  But\, how do we know what works in the co
	ntext of instructional innovation?  What research-based instruments exist t
	o measure student gains in different STEM gateway courses?  One such instru
	ment is MasteringPhysics\, an online web-based tutorial program from Pearso
	n Higher Education that tutors students individually while providing instru
	ctors with rich teaching diagnostics.  Now extended across many STEM discip
	lines\, the Mastering platform is the most educationally effective and wide
