Kumar uses his own lectures notes to design lesson plans in SoftChalk, which supports integration of visuals such as PowerPoint slides and YouTube videos and enables instructors to tailor learning materials.

More From Kumar: 

“Students are already burdened with increased tuition and expensive textbooks. Biology textbooks are pricey, and instructors can help by identifying ways that these instructional materials can be provided for free to our students. Resources are available at UTSA and through IT to support creation of free and low-cost learning materials. Every semester, publishers contact me to publish my biochemistry lab manual. However, I have opted to save students money.”
