Video-Guided Learning in Collegiate Mathematics
Explore how video-guided learning impacts pedagogy and equitability in mathematics courses, and discover best practices for implementing these resources in higher education classrooms.
Jason Gregersen, Michigan Technological University
Rachel Vincent-Finley, Southern University
Herb Kunze, University of Guelph
To announce the launch of the first edition of Interactive Calculus, hear from a few of the founding authors as they discuss current best practices and research on the use of videos in mathematics courses at this past year's ICTCM in Denver, CO. The team discuss the evolution, equitability, and pedagogical benefits of videos as well as video use across various modes of teaching.

About the speakers
Jason Gregersen, Michigan Technological University
Jason Gregersen received a bachelor's in mathematics education from Northern Michigan University in 2009 and a master's in applied mathematics from Michigan Technological University in 2011. Since 2011 he has been teaching at Michigan Technological University where he is currently an Associate Teaching Professor primarily teaching calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. His primary area of interest is in finding new ways to integrate technology into education, in order to increase student engagement and add authentic applications into the curriculum.
Rachel Vincent-Finley, Southern University
Rachel Vincent-Finley earned a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Bryn Mawr College and master's and doctoral degrees in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Rice University.
Dr. Vincent-Finley joined the faculty at Southern University and A&M College in 2009 and now serves as the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in the College of Sciences and Engineering. Her service to the state of Louisiana includes appointments on the Louisiana Optical Network Infrastructure (LONI) Management Council and the LaSTEM Advisory Council. Her general research interests include numerical analysis with applications to molecular biophysics and materials science. Dr. Vincent-Finley’s education and outreach efforts include broadening participation in STEM and enhancing the connections between higher education and industry through workforce development partnerships.
Herb Kunze, University of Guelph
Herb Kunze is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. Students and colleagues have been very kind in commenting on and supporting his teaching: he has received institutional and provincial teaching awards, and he has been an invited speaker, including as a keynote, at teaching conferences. He is known for his informal "office hours" held in the University Center at a round table that students have nicknamed "the Circle of Herb." His love of teaching drives everything he does, including his active research in applied analysis and his faculty association work.
