Abstract

Current research on the effectiveness of publisher developed learning management and home-work systems shows positive results including the reinforcement of concepts from lectures, immediate feedback to students on their work, appropriate hints and guidance for problem solv-ing and the ability to meet diverse pedagogical needs. These systems are used in many courses to improve students’ understanding of fundamental concepts, student interest and student per-formance. The goal of this study is to evaluate the use of such a system – SolidProfessor in an Engineering Graphics course at ___ University.

SolidProfessor is an online resource with built-in video tutorials and lessons for engineering training with an emphasis on CAD courses. Instructors can use pre-built lesson plans, custom-ize lesson plans or create their own lesson plans. The lesson plans include a baseline test and a review test.

This work explores the effective use SolidProfessor to improve student learning. In addition to faculty and student experiences, specific learning outcomes are measured and correlated to stu-dent performance. It is predicted that such a correlation would be beneficial to the instructor to clearly and quickly identify key concepts that are difficult for students.
