THE VILLAGE

The purpose of our Digital Village is to provide a single place where our LINC and STEM scholars can obtain any information related to STEM activities.  

We are starting with those things we know you need.  Over time, we anticipate many changes, as you tell us what you need.

CPR-L - an innovative development out of the LINC program

CPR-L, Competency Performance Recordings for Learning, is a process that codifies the learning process and produces output that validates what has been retained by students.

With CPR-L, students are required to take home homework problems that contain core course concepts, and solve them on tablet PCs following a particular sequence of rubrics. Read more about the CPRL Rubrics here.

The tablet PC records the students’ voice, as they are required to talk through the problem as though they were teaching it in class. The laptop also visually captures the student’s work in-progress straight through to its finished form as the problem solution is written on the tablet PC’s surface with a stylus.

The final product must be concise, compressed to essential steps, so students are encouraged to first utilize paper and pen to explore solutions until they believe that they have uncovered all elements in Rubrics Steps I and II, and reduced their findings to an effective description of the solutions process.. The entire process is iterative, and requires intense re-thinking of the solution in order to reduce it to its essence and meet other required criteria. The effectiveness of the solution is measured against all twelve (12) rubrics. Further, the process of recording requires a quiet environment, devoid of music and other typical distractions, as well as reading aloud to “hear” ones’ thoughts. This effort reinforces the learning process.
