    ASCEND Program

    In 2016, the Department of Mathematics piloted a version of Yale’s ONEXYS (Online Experience for Yale Scholars) program for incoming students at Notre Dame. After two years of running with Yale’s content, the program proved promising in providing some preseason math training for incoming students who wanted to pursue degrees in STEM fields, but there was a need for greater alignment with the content covered in first-year STEM courses at Notre Dame. Rising to this challenge, Professor Brian Mulholland began working with the Office of Digital Learning to revise ONEXYS. This new program would be called ASCEND, A Scholarly Community Entering Notre Dame.

    AMR Educational Modules

    To fulfill the education requirements of a USDA AFRI ARG grant, Professor Kyle Bibby, his co-PIs, and project team collaborated with Notre Dame Learning to design, produce, and deliver educational modules about antimicrobial resistance (AMR). These modules were developed as digital media to enable widespread dissemination, with some content made available on the interactive touchscreen at the ND-LEEF facility in St. Patrick’s Park in South Bend, Indiana. The target audience for these modules are K–12 students and the general public.

    More videos and resources—including a playable AMR video game—are available on the Environmental Change Initiative website.

    Ascent Program

    Housed in Notre Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), the Ascent Program reimagines the leadership structure of K-8 Catholic schools to employ a collaborative leadership model. Through two years of program coursework, teacher leaders are formed as master teachers and school leaders in mathematics curriculum and instruction. Through retreats and intentional coursework, particular attention is given to the meaningful integration of Catholic spirituality within this content area with the goal of surfacing the mutuality between faith and reason and forming intentional disciples.

    Notre Dame Learning’s Office of Digital Learning works collaboratively with ACE Ascent to design and develop multimedia learning experiences for the program’s students like the one shared here.

    Office of Digital Learning Project Reel

    Leading media innovation within Notre Dame Learning’s Office of Digital Learning is the Creative Media Team, an in-house production studio of industry-seasoned artists and filmmakers compelled to enhance the student learning experience through the creation of high-end, pedagogical media. This is a small sample of their work.
