As part of WebAssign’s increased focus on becoming more customer-centric, we have created an outstanding team of Visioneers. This group is comprised of experts in the field of chemistry, physics, math, and user experience and design who will work to direct the focus of our product so our customers get the best experience possible. We are very excited to have them as part of the WebAssign team and will be introducing them over the next few weeks.
This week’s spotlight is on Matt Kohlmyer, our Physics Visioneer:
Matt Kohlmyer has had extensive experience in physics education, both in teaching introductory physics and in research on students’ learning and problem solving. At both NC State University and Georgia Tech he was involved in implementing, teaching, and developing materials for the innovative Matter & Interactions curriculum (developed by R. Chabay and B. Sherwood). He has also had experience with innovative pedagogy including the studio-based SCALE-UP environment and clicker usage in large lecture classes. In his spare time, Matt enjoys trips to the beach and is an avid hockey fan. We are thrilled to welcome Matt to our WebAssign team!
