STACK Researchers Network

The STACK Researchers Network brings together education researchers with an interest in computer-aided assessment tools such as STACK.

The range of topics for research involving STACK is very broad. A recent collaborative project to develop a research agenda for e-assessment in undergraduate mathematics has identified 55 research questions, many of which are relevant to STACK:

  • https://maths.github.io/e-assessment-research-agenda/

  • Kinnear, G., Jones, I., Sangwin, C., Alarfaj, M., Davies, B., Fearn, S., Foster, C., Heck, A., Henderson, K., Hunt, T., Iannone, P., Kontorovich, I., Larson, N., Lowe, T., Meyer, J. C., O’Shea, A., Rowlett, P., Sikurajapathi, I., & Wong, T. (2024). A collaboratively-derived research agenda for E-assessment in undergraduate mathematics. International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 10(1), 201–231. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40753-022-00189-6

The STACK Researchers Network aims to:

  • Support the development of new research projects related to STACK, by stimulating interaction between researchers and other professionals using STACK.
  • Provide support for colleagues who are seeking to develop skills in education research related to STACK.
  • Promote research outcomes from studies involving STACK.
