CSUN is one of six minority serving institutions (MSI) of higher learning that is collaborating with NASA to promote more diverse student access to their rich and rigorous digital STEM resources. The goal of this presentation is to promote an exchange of knowledge and experience in promoting scientific literacy within culturally responsive learning settings that promotes excitement about the next generation of “audacious scientists and engineers” we must prepare now and in the future.

Continuous Formative Assessment (CFA) using Cloud-Based Collaborative Resources
Continuous Formative Assessment (CFA) employs cloud-based collaborative document technology to instantly collect responses from multiple students, groups, and class sections. In this workshop, participants will learn how to collect response data from large sets of students across groups or classes and analyze them quickly and accurately. Participants will gain experience using CFA strategies to enhance student engagement and monitor student understanding during synchronous online or in-person instruction. As instructors analyze student responses, instruction adjustments can be made to meet immediate student needs. This workshop introduces specific instructional strategies that may be employed to increase the accountability and involvement of students in face-to-face, blended and online settings. Preliminary data suggests that the CFA methodology promotes engagement, accountability, and understanding through formative assessment for both students and instructors.
