CD. Instructors use various approachesfor providing course content. The course material can consist of a course syllabus and/ora getting started overview, posted in-class presentation slides, lecture notes, recordedaudio based lectures, assignment descriptions, textbooks, articles, links and additionalresources and supplemental material.The learner-instructor interaction, the dialog and feedback between the learner andinstructor, is implemented through many mechanisms. During the online course, theinstructor proactively interacts with the students in a variety of ways, depending on thestyle and preferences of the instructor, as well as the nature of the course content.Instructors use a combination of weekly online discussions, e-mail, web

client and the class twice a semester: once during a preliminary designreview and once for the final project completion. Midterm and final presentations are video-taped by the instructional staff in a typical classroom environment. During the semester, teamsconduct frequent informal meetings to discuss their progress, and are required to meet with theirclient at least once. At subjectively selected times, students record these events as part of theirvideo journal. At the end of the semester, teams summarize their team and client interaction in anedited version of the footage.Our engineering design course is offered to more than 150 students per semester, who areassigned to teams of 5-6 students. Inarguably, the introduction of interactive video
