Bass has been working at the intersections of new media technologies and the scholarship of teaching and learning for 20 years. Most notably, he served as a director and principal investigator of the Visible Knowledge Project, a five year, $4 million project involving 70 faculty from more than 22 college and university campuses. With a unique combination of theoretical and practical explorations, that project aimed to improve the quality of teaching through a focus on student learning and faculty development in technology-enhanced environments. His published collection of essays and synthesis of findings, “The Difference that Inquiry Makes: A Collaborative Case Study on Technology and Learning, from the Visible Knowledge Project,” (co-edited with Bret Eynon), was published in the digital journal Academic Commons.
