Redesigning Economics Course for Fully Online and Accessible through Videos and Online Homework

The goal of this project is to develop a number of instructional tools aimed at increasing student success in Economics (ECON) 315, reducing the failure rate in the course from a current 26% to 18%. The primary goal of this course redesign is to create it in an online, asynchronous format with hybrid features. The vast majority of the course will be delivered online (90%), but there will be required on-campus meetings (10%). I will develop many videos and other online activities that aim at enhancing students’ learning experience and improving their success rate in the course.
