The Case Lab

Our research focuses on how ungrading can shift students’ approach to learning and broaden participation in upper-level STEM courses. Scholarly interests include using machine learning, alternative grading, and web applications to enhance biomedical education. 

Active Projects

Project 1: Exploring how ungrading influences the way in which students approach learning in an upper-level biomedical science course, focusing on student motivation, reflective thinking, and preparatory behaviours

Project 2: Exploring the effectiveness of using AI (personalised GPTs) to support faculty efforts in an ungraded course.

Project 3: Creation of an interactive prosection laboratory program to enhance student engagement and self-directed behaviours in medical and allied health gross anatomy education.

Project 4: Testing the practicality and effectiveness of formaldehyde-free cadaver fixation methods in a veterinary medicine curriculum.
