A high impact practice is a pedagogical approach which requires an investment of time and energy over an extended period that has unusually positive effects on student engagement in educationally purposeful behavior (Kuh, 2010). High impact practices are evidence-based teaching and learning practices that have been widely tested and shown to be beneficial for college students (Kuh, 2008).
Characteristics of high-impact activities include: setting appropriately high expectations of students; interaction with faculty and peers about substantive matters; experiences with diversity; frequent feedback; reflection and integrative learning; real-world applications; and demonstrated competence.

How long have you worked at your institution? 8 years
What is your teaching/research focus area(s)? I teach mathematics courses primarily in the areas of applied statistics and applied calculus. My current research has been focused on the links between implementation of technology in the classroom and overall inclusive practices.
What do you appreciate most about the HIP(s) that you have infused into the courses you teach?
Technology has the potential to let our students interact with course materials and their own learning in a transformational way. Speaking from a STEM perspective, we’re able to delve into topics, see scientific and mathematical connections, and work with real-world mathematics in a way that makes abstract concepts concrete. This connection to technology also gives students the opportunity to learn realworld, applicable skills that they can take directly into the workforce or research fields.

Minimum Definition of Practice-
Instructional practices that leverage digital technologies to enhance teaching and learning. (Digital technology is any electronic tool, system, device or resource that facilitates learning and improves student performance. Examples include, but are not limited to, social media, online games, multimedia, productivity applications, cloud computing, interoperable systems, and mobile devices. Digital technologies can be used to increase engagement, encourage collaboration, deliver support, and increase awareness and understanding.)
