This project focuses on the design and impact of an asynchronous, discovery-based activity in an asynchronous College Algebra course. The activity will be written and administered in Doenet. Generally, the activity would walk students through multiple stages of solving a traditional precalculus problem: A plane is going from city A to city B. There is a wind of X mph blowing from XX direction. What direction does the pilot need to make to adjust for the wind? The Doenet activity would provide feedback as the student investigates what additional information they may need to solve the question, potential concepts they could rely on, application of one concept, and then validation with a visual of a plane flying between the two cities (with loop to return if they weren’t correct). After creating the activity, it would be included as a mandatory assignment within a course I would teach in Spring 2024. While data would be collected at this point, money from the mini-grant would be used to solicit students to participate in a survey on their experiences with the activity and record their thoughts as they interact with the activity
