Ashish Sood taught “Pricing Strategy” through the Business program at UC Riverside. He used a fully online, game-based approach to teach his students about empathy in a business setting. He described how students learn about the concept of risk tolerance by completing a pricing strategy simulation, and how it helped students to understand that concept in a more empathic way.

Tobin White
Tobin White taught pre-service math and science teachers at UC Davis, encouraging his students to think about ways to facilitate collaborative math and science learning activities.
To demonstrate, he would have pre-service math teachers use iPads to contribute student-generated data to produce collective visualizations, or he would have pre-service physics teachers use iPads to collaborate on problem-based activities using a jigsaw method, where individuals within a group would work on different pieces of the same problem.

Sherryl Berg-Ridenour taught “Advertising” through the Business program at UC Riverside. Students in her course worked in groups to implement six-week, social media marketing campaigns on behalf of community-partner businesses and service-organizations.
Using cell phones, students took on individual roles within their groups to apply theories and principles of advertising.
They would use their devices to adjust their approach to advertising through social media based on analytics relating to followership, to extend their client’s reach and impact in promotion of services or programs.

Jim Burnette is the Biology Lab instructor at UC Riverside who has students keep electronic notebooks.
The use of e-Notebooks to capture data electronically allows students who previously had little access to technology to gain exposure and develop technology fluency. The use of e-Notebooks also models industry-standard, electronic record keeping processes that ensure replicability, which is necessary with processes for “doing science.”
