Breakout Session Descriptions
Empowering Students Success with Hawkes Learning Personalized AI Tutor!
This session will explore how Hawkes Learning Personal AI Tutor, and Explain Error give real-time feedback, and personalized support can boost student confidence and performance math courses. Attendees will get hands-on insight into how the AI Tutor guides students through problem-solving strategies and supports mastery-based learning. All while giving instructors actionable data to enhance classroom outcomes. Join Hawkes Learning to see how AI is making math more accessible, engaging, and effective for every learner.
Competency Based Education Panel Discussion
Have you heard talk about implementing competency based classes on your campus? Here at Hawkeye, we have begun using it in a couple of programs. In this session, you will have faculty members in those programs, their Dean, and the Pathway Navigator for those programs help us understand how this looks in a college classroom. We will also discuss if this is possible in a mathematics classroom and what it might look like.
Teaching Statistics Through Play: A Student-Driven, Multi-Departmental OER Game
How can we connect with today’s students using the tools and formats they already love? In this presentation, we share the development and classroom impact of a student-designed educational statistics game created as part of a co-advised honors project between the math and programming faculty at Kirkwood Community College.
This session will explore the game itself (available as a free OER resource), its classroom implementation, and the broader lessons from supporting students as content creators within their generational learning preferences. The project highlights how institutional support for honors projects can foster meaningful collaboration between departments, increase student ownership, and result in real instructional innovation.
Concurrent Education Panel Discussion
Senior Year Plus was started in Iowa in 2008 and was designed to expand community college offerings to high school students. Many of our community colleges were offering college credit for high school students before this with the Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Act (1987). This session will be a discussion of successes and challenges with concurrent education. The head of Hawkeye’s High School Partnerships department and concurrent faculty members will lead this discussion.
Bridging the gap between technology and paper to pencil in ALEKS.
