Beth Pratt-Sitaula, along with Kristin O'Connell (SERC), Bruce Douglas, Becca Walker, Benjamin Crosby, Ellen Iverson (SERC), and Donna Charlevoix, have published a new paper on the GEodesy Tools for Societal Issues (GETSI) program.

The study, "Design and evaluation of data-rich undergraduate teaching resources that get used: the GETSI approach," explores how thoughtfully designed, data-rich teaching materials can be flexible, widely adopted, and highly useful for faculty. It also highlights SERC's research-based approach to program evaluation and materials development, providing a model for others creating effective disciplinary teaching resources. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10899995.2026.2643931
