260, 3512 33rd Street N.W., Calgary AB, T2L-2A6.AbstractFor this study interested parties, engineering university academics and K-12 STEMresearchers, have partnered in an attempt to impact high school physics enrollment byevaluating a 21st century teaching and learning tool that can act as an alternative toconventional teaching methods. The Digital Learning Management System (DLMS) hasthe potential to change the perception of high school physics and, ultimately, to improvestudent outcomes. This learning tool has been developed by a leading STEM educationalnot-for-profit Canadian organization. The tool appeals to digital natives (high schoolstudents) and incorporates: mind mapping (discovery based learning), experts on call,gamification, all
