Dr. Jenny Knight is using the Codon Learning courseware platform to study students’ self-regulated learning behaviors. Professor Knight will lead a discussion on self-regulated learning and share findings from her ongoing research. Attendees will have the chance to login and experience the Codon platform as the Codon team demonstrates how the Codon “Study Path” helps students reflect on the learning objectives they need to work on and use self-testing to achieve those objectives.

Dr. Jennifer Knight has been teaching courses to all levels of undergraduates in the Department of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder for 20 years. She has worked to develop this Genetics course over many years, choosing only a subset of commonly taught topics in order to create more opportunities for active and deeper learning. Her work as a Biology Education Researcher has included developing concept assessments to diagnose student misunderstandings and measure learning gains, facilitating many workshops on scientific teaching, and studying how students engage in complex problem solving and reasoning, particularly in genetics. She is the past President (2019-2020) and founding member of the Society for the Advancement of Biology Education Research (SABER).
