Duke Kunshan is a liberal arts and research institution that was developed as a partnership between Duke University in Durham and Wuhan University and the city of Kunshan in China. Student and faculty interviews, photographs, documents, music, architectural drawings, newspaper articles, and other materials reveal the dynamic evolution of this collaborative joint-venture university.
The reception program will begin at 5:00 p.m. with welcome remarks by Provost Sally Kornbluth. Mary Brown Bullock, Executive Vice Chancellor Emerita of DKU, will speak about the internationalization of China’s higher education system and current China-U.S. education relations.

BRITE Ideas: How can Data from Large Classrooms Improve Learning?
Join Kristin V. Stephens-Martinez, Assistant Professor of the Practice of Computer Science, as she leads a discussion on how can data from large classrooms improve learning. Many classes are growing in enrollment, and one way instructors handle this growth is by increasing their use of technology. A concern about these two factors is how they affect the quality of learning. However, they are also an opportunity to collect and analyze large, high-dimensional data sets and conduct in situ experiments at scale. This talk will include both past and new work taking advantage of this scale. First, the discussion will cover the results of applying mixed methods to a corpus of 332,829 wrong answers from students answering code-tracing, constructed-response assessments. Second, the discussion will address the findings of using those results in an in situ experiment with over 900 students. This experiment automatically delivered hints while the students answered assessments. Third, this talk will present new work that collects data from multiple class tools and integrates them into a single data analysis pipeline, as well as potential research directions using this data source.
Light refreshments will be provided. Please feel free to bring a lunch.

Duke Online Learning Collaborative: Blended Models in Clinical Research
Steve Grambow, a Duke faculty biostatistician, has created and implemented a new training program, Fundamentals of Clinical Research, a blended program model allowing physicians to learn about conducting clinical research. This new program has has been delivered for the first time in China. Grambow will discuss the blended model, digital technologies, lesson and assessment design, and how content was localized to enable better learning. The culmination of this project was a one week highly interactive experience delivered at Beijing Friendship Hospital where participants created and presented a clinical research project working while working in teams.
These meetings are part of the Duke Online Learning Collaborative (formerly the Distance Education Special Interest Group) and open to all in the Duke community with an interest in digital education and online teaching and learning.
