Stacks on Stacks 039
No full textOn August 22, 2025, first-year Ursinus College students participated in a common CIE event in Myrin Library. Teams of students, assigned to a particular section of Library stacks, searched for book titles that could be combined in meaningful ways. These combinations were then written and transferred to the end of each stack. This photograph shows the activities of the student teams in the Library and their final creations.https://digitalcommons.ursinus.edu/cie_stacks/1150/thumbnail.jp
Ocean Acidification and Increased Temperature Affect the Growth and Survival of Ilyanassa obsoleta
No full textIntertidal zones depend on intertidal organisms to function properly, but pressures from climate change and human activities make it significantly harder for these organisms not only to survive but also to thrive. While ocean acidification impacts all organisms, each responds differently to the low pH environment. This research aims to examine how the combined effects of ocean warming and acidification influence the growth, survival, and behavior of the common gastropod Ilyanassa obsoleta. Two treatments simulated a natural heat wave by increasing temperature by 10 °C, and one of these treatments introduced carbon dioxide into the tanks until the pH was lowered by 0.2 units (~7.8) from its baseline (~8.0). We plan to use the data from this study to model the effects of ocean acidification on other intertidal species

The Ursinus WebIDE: A Serverless Browser-Based Development Environment for Student Practice and Rapid Instructor Exercise Development
No full textCompleting “many small problems” (MSP) in CS1 has been shown to increase “student happiness” as well as performance outcomes. However, it is often difficult to develop and deploy interesting problems, and utilizing frameworks such as online textbooks can require fees or subscription services that create equity and access barriers to low-income students. The Ursinus WebIDE provides an open-source open educational resource (OER) that supports the rapid development of student exercises in a variety of course contexts and languages, including Java, Python, C++, Scheme, Prolog, and graphics (GLSL, WebGL) and multimedia (Pyodide). These exercises are presented to students in a consistent and serverless browser-based IDE interface that presents scaffolded files in a tree-based filesystem that can be specified by an instructor via a single easy-to-use Markdown file. Student submissions are checked against sample correct and incorrect solutions, with feedback provided for each. Correct submissions are automatically encrypted and immediately uploaded to a Google spreadsheet in a FERPA-compliant way, and processed with our open-source tool to automatically grade submissions to a course learning management system (LMS), without requiring integration with institutional computing systems. Students can be given hints for common mistakes, and they can also be given optional partial credit for attempting a solution. These tools can be deployed entirely free of cost by instructors and students using static Github Pages and Google Forms. We provide a repository of drop-in exercises compatible with the system via a GitHub repository for use, adaptation, and contribution
