the barriers instructors face when using activelearning in first- and second-year STEM courses in online-settings at post-secondary institutions.Here, we focus on fully online courses, taught in both asynchronous and synchronous settings,that have no in-person component. For our purposes, we define active learning broadly, as anytime the instructor goes beyond simply lecturing with the students taking notes. Active learningleads to improved student learning, more engaged students, and increased interest in STEM (e.g.,[1]-[5]). Additionally, active learning increases the quality, number, and diversity of STEMgraduates [5]. Despite these positive findings, adoption of active learning in classrooms has beenslow [4], and researchers have sought

model developed by the authors thatencourages students to learn and solve complex problems pertinent to current challenges facing society. Since its beginnings, the IBL model has evolved to improve upon course aspects and processes from previous course iterations [1]–[11]. IBL is currently implemented into a cardiovascular engineering course within four institutions across the United States. This model strives to emphasize freedom and responsibility to students through self-directed learning. In the course, students identify relevant societal problems, form diverse multidisciplinary, multi- institutional teams, and work collaboratively towards innovative solutions. IBL uses an online learning management system (LMS) that was designed and

Level of knowledge and use of active learning strategiesParticipants were also asked if they had received any training on teaching. Out of the 43 respondents,81% indicated that they received training on teaching which included department level workshops (49%),college level workshops (37%), university level workshops and learning communities (97%), workshopsoffered through professional societies such as (60%), courses on teaching during graduate education(31%), and online training such as webinars

management strategies and how they deviated from the program expectations.StudyParticipantsAll 600 engineering junior and senior students were asked to participate in the survey via emailrequests. The participation was anonymous and approximately 31% of the clinic studentsenrolled in the Fall of 2019. Participants in the study were 185 engineering students from ME,ExEEd, ECE, CEE, BME, and ChE departments.MeasuresIn the current study, a 16 question online survey was conducted on project management and teamculture. Team management strategies are referred to as team culture, to differentiate from projectmanagement. The project management questions were developed using Rowan University’sbusiness course content as a resource to identify the core

Each of the boxes seen in the figure are associated with podcastplanning, production and distribution, including any prior asynchronous activities associatedwith said podcast, while the design and execution of the synchronous class itself is alsoconsidered.At the Planning stage, and following indications by Quintanal [17], when designing podcasts foreducational purposes, both setting the learning objectives and the means to achieve them must betaken into account. Thus, for the Applied Geophysics course, the syllabus was carefully

they’re drawing on3. Further,knowing how scholarly articles are crafted helps, too: multi-citers might use intersectionality as acentral component of their arguments and papers, whereas one off-ers mention the term as a briefreferential frame or add the citation after peer review.These, of course, are just hypotheses that need to be explored in a close reading, but it raisesquestions about how and if all concepts can or should be integrated into texts as “one-off”citations.Third, the uptake of intersectionality as a concept forged by women of color lies in a handful ofscholars. This is best illustrated in Figure 7. As you can see, the scholars who cite hooks or HillCollins overlap a good deal—and they often cite Crenshaw (sometimes twice as well
