This was done for the class ISTE-140 Web and Mobile I Web and Mobile 1 at RIT typically has at least 8 sections in a single fall semester, and is offered in multiple countries (RIT Dubai, RIT Croatia) so significant coordination efforts need to be spent here. As described in the section above, another area I helped coordinate this course being offered around the world was when I implemented the virtual textbook (zybook). This video goes over how the zylabs work and I give a few demos (for summer 2024): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VNT5z3p8Yg
Overall the text book i helped implement and customize (the ZyBook) was met with positive feedback for its rollout:
Comments received from students about the interactive textbook:
- “I enjoyed the zybook that he chose for us. It was interactive and really helped me learn. I liked that he did follow-along demos in the class. Our class was very comfortable with him which made it easy to ask questions. He gave us all the resources and help we could need.”
- “the code pens and the zybooks helped my understanding and he would reaffirm it during class time”
