Associate Professor Diana White and Senior Instructor Pamela Whitten have been awarded a $20,000 Spring 2026 CU System AI Sprint Grant: AI for Teaching & Learning.
The title of the proposal is “Using MathGPT.ai to Enhance Student Success in Calculus”. The project aims to integrate MathGPT.ai into Calculus I at CU Denver to address high rates of unsuccessful course completion in Calculus I, a key course for STEM and other quantitatively intensive fields.
MathGPT.ai is a textbook-aligned, mathematics-focused AI tutor designed to provide scaffolded support, guided questioning, and feedback that emphasizes reasoning rather than answer delivery. The project will begin with a Summer 2026 pilot in Associate Professor Diana White’s hybrid section, followed by Fall 2026 implementation in both PI Senior Instructor Pamela Whitten’s hybrid section and large-lecture section.
