KEEP Toolkit Case Studies





The KEEP Toolkit has been used by our partner institutions and faculty to explore how these tools enable them to document and share their efforts and advance collective knowledge of teaching and learning in various contexts. With these partners, the KML shares common interests in tool development, implementation and refinement as well as a research agenda, such as exploring effective pedagogical uses of the tools.

The following cases present some of our partners' work in this effort. We hope these cases help other institutions and faculty that are interested in initiating similar projects in their local settings. Over time, additional cases featuring our partners' work will be added to this collection.
