Background:
Open practices in academia are emerging as affordable tools in widening research access by removing many barriers in the scholarly research and learning process. While faculty engagement with open practices is increasing, there remain some barriers to widespread participation. Though research to date suggests faculty perceptions about promotion and tenure (P&T) policies influence faculty engagement with open practices, many studies limit their focus on a few influencing factors. Answering calls for more research, this pilot study aims to explore the influence of various factors on faculty engagement with open practices, with a focus on promotion and tenure (P&T) policies …

Learning Showcase 2016: A Celebration of Discovery, Transformation and Success
As part of the MATH 215 redesign, we developed weekly web-based interactive multimedia lectures, based on the 12 principles of multimedia learning (Mayer, 2001). The goal of our research study was to determine, using formative evaluation, if these multimedia pieces were useful and if they should continue to be used.
