If the learner has a problem in getting a finalanswer or gives an incorrect answer, the PST rolls one step back and offers to help performinterim auxiliary calculations. If the learners still has a problem the PST provides a template ofthe formula that has to be used. If all of that does not help, PST opens or points to the lessontopic that must to be learned before completing the assignment.An example of the PST is shown in the Figure 9. Figure 9.

Essentially, the authors’ position is that success depends onestablishing a few very effective, and in-depth/extensive collaborations as contrasted topursuing numerous shallow, more casual and not well developed relationships. While thelatter can be fun and interesting, typically they will not lead to extensive student and facultyexchanges – the ultimate performance metric.Our experience was one which began with strong and consistent signals by institutional andunit leaders. Together with seed funding, this established a context that evidencedcommitment by our leaders. Complementing the long term perspective referred to in theabove paragraphs, was an

Assessment and evaluationof the results of the JiTT implementation include ongoing tracking of student learning objectivesuccess rates, a survey of student views of JiTT, and faculty reflections.BackgroundThe recent rapid advances in web accessibility, coupled with the identification of active learningas a key to student understanding, provide the framework for a new instructional approach calledJust in Time Teaching (JiTT). Beginning in the mid 1990’s, physics educators were searching fora teaching technique to motivate and hold the

The multimedia ePortfolio was used as the presentation visualaid. The presentation was well received by the freshman and sophomore electrical engineeringstudents.To increase the effectiveness of the Research on Research program, it would be helpful for theparticipants to be given a template for their ePortfolio. This allows less time to be spentdesigning the structure of the ePortfolio and more time to be spent with their faculty professorand research. A general template might be introduced to the students at the start of the program.Bibliography1. S. Smallwood, "Graduate Schools are Urged to Look

pathwas clearly identified and the WBS was followed closely.In the reflection papers written by the students, numerous comments were made that indicated agenerational clash. The class has several non-traditional students in their late 50’s and 60’s.These older students were more inclined to give as well as accept orders and direction. Theirstyle was more autocratic. The younger generation of students did not espouse this approach andresisted it. Their view was much more democratic and demanding an input on every decision.This generation gap was fascinating and accentuated the fact that project management is allabout people. The younger generation did not recognize this conflict for the generational clashthat it was, while the non-traditional

The salient featuresof the process are mentioned as follows: • Minimum requirements for instructional activities: In order to ensure the consistency and quality of online education, the school has developed specific guidelines regarding minimum standards for course development, design, and delivery. • Learning Outcomes: The design of the instructional activities (i.e., the use of technology/multimedia) is dictated by desired learning outcomes rather than the availability of existing technology. • All of the instructional materials are reviewed by the program chair(s) to ensure they meet the program
