Doctoral student Sai Gattupalli, Lecturer Sharon Edwards, and Senior Lecturer II Bob Maloy recently discussed their UsableMath educational technology at the Berkshire Resources for Learning and Innovation (BRLI) 2023 Teaching With Technology Conference.

In a blog post about the presentation, Gattupalli wrote, "We strive to make math more than just numbers and equations. It is about understanding the world around us, making informed decisions, and cultivating logical thinking...From its foundation, Usable Math is unique in its instructional approach. It doesn’t just provide solutions to problems; instead, it extends an invitation for students to author their own word problems and create math slideshows. It stimulates learner imagination and promotes critical thinking, in ways that transform maths from a dreaded subject to an exciting journey of exploration, storytelling and discovery."
