  5. Potential as a research tool … Course Grade vs. Ability .

  6. Potential as a research tool …

  7. Potential as a research tool …

  8. Capture How they solve the problem • Tons of Quantitative Information • How about Qualitative Information? Open Source!

  9. Capture How they solve the problem

  10. Study Clusters of Students

  11. Assist with Classroom Research • What are some characteristics of students’ understanding of concepts? • What kind of “actions” students take when they know their answers are incorrect? • How can these “actions” be improved towards understanding of the concepts using the technology in class and in the wild?
