Building a Networked Improvement Community: Lessons in Organizing to Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
In 2016, 10 universities launched a Networked Improvement Community (NIC) aimed at increasing the number of scholars from Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) populations entering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics

Designing for Trust-Building Interactions in the Initiation of a Networked Improvement Community

Frontiers in Education, 2020
Networked Improvement Community (NICs) are increasingly recognized as a social innovation for orchestrating sustained change in education. NICs are one type of a research-practice partnership that provides a model for researchers and educators to bring ...

Optimising the emergency-readiness of public access defibrillators across Wales using quality improvement methodology [PDF]

BMJ Open Quality
Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) have been shown to significantly improve survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Cultivating Belonging Through Longitudinal Engagement: Shifts in Student Motivation, Competence, and Agency in a Networked Improvement Community

Education Sciences
This qualitative, longitudinal study explores how student members’ sense of belonging changed over time in a Networked Improvement Community (NIC). Co-authored by researchers and student participants, this study uses the “students as partners” framework ...

The Problem-identification Process Prior to the Initiation of a Networked Improvement Community

Designs for Learning, 2022
In this paper, I present a design case of the problem-identification process prior to the initiation of a Networked Improvement Community (NIC). A NIC is a type of research-practice partnership (RPP) that brings together researchers and practitioners to ...

Community Detection and Improved Detectability in Multiplex Networks [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering, 2020
We investigate the widely encountered problem of detecting communities in multiplex networks, such as social networks, with an unknown arbitrary heterogeneous structure. To improve detectability, we propose a generative model that leverages the multiplicity of a single community in multiple layers, with no prior assumption on the relation of ...

Improved network community structure improves function prediction [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2013
We are overwhelmed by experimental data, and need better ways to understand large interaction datasets. While clustering related nodes in such networks-known as community detection-appears a promising approach, detecting such communities is computationally difficult. Further, how to best use such community information has not been determined.

Improving the performance of algorithms to find communities in networks [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2014
Many algorithms to detect communities in networks typically work without any information on the cluster structure to be found, as one has no a priori knowledge of it, in general. Not surprisingly, knowing some features of the unknown partition could help its identification, yielding an improvement of the performance of the method. Here we show that, if

Multilabel user classification using the community structure of online networks. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
We study the problem of semi-supervised, multi-label user classification of networked data in the online social platform setting. We propose a framework that combines unsupervised community extraction and supervised, community-based feature weighting ...

Teaching Mathematics with Technology: TPACK and Effective Teaching Practices

Education Sciences, 2022
This paper examines how 17 secondary mathematics teacher candidates (TCs) in four university teacher preparation programs implemented technology in their classrooms to teach for conceptual understanding in online, hybrid, and face to face classes during ...
