This community focused on the thoughtful use of data to inform improvements to instruction practices. Faculty participants had their lectures recorded and coded using the <a href="http://equip.ninja/">EQUIP tool</a>, to collect data on the participation of students from diverse backgrounds. Participants also learned about teaching strategies that help foster an environment with more equitable participation.<br><br>A small group of engineering faculty is now looking to form a similar learning community for the Fall 2020 semester, and recruiting faculty who are interested in participating. This group will have support from Prof. Daniel Reinholz and from a student assistant who will help code recorded lectures using the EQUIP tool to analyze data on student participation. The group will meet virtually 1 - 2 times per month to analyze data from class recordings, debrief about effective teaching practices, and discuss specific strategies and approaches to improve equitable student participation. <b>If you are teaching a class in Fall 2020 that will have synchronous virtual meetings with at least 15 students and you would like to participate in this effort or learn more about it, please contact Matthew Verbyla (<a href="mailto:mverbyla@sdsu.edu">mverbyla@sdsu.edu</a>).</b></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><br clear="all"></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Matthew E.
