A project at Carnegie Mellon University promises to change that with the use of sensors in the classroom hooked to software to help TAs — especially those from other countries — refine their teaching skills in STEM courses. Computer-Aided Noticing and Reflection (CANAR) is the project of Amy Ogan, an assistant professor in the Human Computer Interaction Institute, and Ph.D. student David Gerritsen. The work is being supported by a $174,000 National Science Foundation grant. As Ogan explained the problem, “Many of our teaching assistants in universities today come from a wide variety of cultures.”  The ultimate goal of the project is to support improved teaching and learning in university classrooms by bridging cultural divides between students and their teachers.
