She is interested in exploring how modern technologies can change mathematics and science learning. At UBC she teachers undergraduate and graduate courses in science and mathematics education, supervises graduate students (Master’s and Ph.D. students), as well as student-teachers on a Practicum. She is actively involved in the BC Association of Physics Teachers, American Association of Physics Teachers and other professional and research organizations. Marina has been dreaming about designing such a resource for science and mathematics teachers for a long time and in the Fall of 2011 she invited Prof. Cynthia Nicol (see below) to apply together for UBC Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) grant to support the project. Their TLEF application was successful and the preparation for the project began in the Spring of 2012.
