STACK
Am Departement Mathematik wird STACK, ein Feedback- und Bewertungssystem für Mathematik, in verschiedenen Lehrveranstaltungen und Prüfungen aktiv und professionell eingesetzt. Im Folgenden wird das Projekt vorgestellt.
STACK @ Rector's Impulse Fund
This year's edition of the Rector's Impulse Fund offers funding for STACK related projects. See the call for proposal, and do not hesitate to contact us for more information!
Question databases and projects
As part of our Innovedum project we developed a large question database for single- and multi-variable calculus and linear algebra aimed at engineering students. ETH users can request access at Using STACK at ETH. Parts of our work is also availabe in the externe Seite Abacus material bank.
We also developed a self-paced training module on integration techniques, called the Integral Trainer. See our dedicated project website for more details!
Memberships in the international community
Our team members are not just active around ETH Zurich, but also contribute to international communities like the externe Seite STACK International Advisory Board and the externe Seite STACK Professionals Network.
Articles and Conference Submissions
The results of our work are published and presented at various conferences, for example at the Annual International Meeting of the STACK Community. Accepted articles and presentations include:
- 15th International Congress on Mathematics Education, 2024: "The Integral Trainer: An automated self-paced training module for practicing integration methods"
- 15th International Congress on Mathematics Education, 2024: "Partial credit in computer aided assessment in calculus courses for large engineering classes"
- International Meeting of the STACK Community 2023: designing and building the Integral Trainer at ETH: didactical and technical aspects
- International Meeting of the STACK Community 2022: Download STACK at ETH, Zurich (PDF, 6.5 MB)
Case studies
Innovative uses and best practices of STACK tasks and quizzes are published in the externe Seite STACK Case Studies Collection.
- externe Seite Integration using partial fractions & STACK
- Considerations on the constant of integration (in preparation)
ETH community
Finalist in the KITE Award 2024
The lecturer's conference of ETH honored our work using STACK within ETH with a nomination for the final round of the KITE Award 2024.
Community of practice
Our team created and heads the geschützte Seite Professional Exchange for STACK Users. We aim to bring together STACK users at ETH, report on developments and news, organise meetings and talks, and share best practices. If you teach at ETH and you want to learn more about STACK, feel free to join!
Refresh Teaching
In Fall 2022 we gave a talk Online Assessment with STACK - making individual feedback possible in ETH's Refresh Teaching lunch lecture series. If you don't know what this is all about, the presentation is a good place to start!
Learning and Teaching Fair
At ETH's Innovation in Learning and Teaching Fair 2022 we presented STACK to a wider ETH audience for the first time.
Innovedum project
Many of these first steps we took were made possible through a project generously funded by Innovedum. All the developments listed above were initiated through the project, which ran from April until December 2022. Development has since continued with departmental funding.
