thereare many variables that lead to different effects which can be desireable or undesireabledepending on what aesthetic the user is intending. In order to better understand these variablesand explain how they can impact the fluid art that is generated, background research wasconducted for the techniques. The goal of these efforts was not an attempt to make a science ofthe artistic process, but rather to understand cause and effect relationships whose understandingcould serve as a starting point for somebody new to a painting technique. This research was thenused to create short videos for students interested in pursuing a given technique. Even with theresearch conducted it is clear that one benefits greatly from hands-on experience. However

While designing interactive and inclusiveinstruction for engineering learners, I introduced cognitive learning theory in all instructionaldesign phases and incorporated practical examples from the real-world [3], [26].

Implications for research and practice are provided.IntroductionThe blended flexible learning (BFL) is a pedagogy that proposes synchronous and asynchronousactivities allowing flexibility in time, physical location, and learning-teaching approach [1].Notably, BFL outcomes increased student engagement with the subject and thus maximizeslearning while teaching students to take on more responsibility [2]. BFL allow to adapt thelearning process to students’ needs and objectives. For example, if a student needsreinforcement, he can review recorded lectures or pre-design material. In addition, many toolsare available to practice each of the topics at the rhythm at which each student learns. Inaddition, it allows certain

For example, Atman and her colleagues [16] presented a modelof design that is both prescriptive and descriptive; the model was developed based on a synthesisof engineering textbooks (that are prescriptive of how design should be practiced) but also usedto describe engineering design processes through empirical findings based on analysis of video-recordings of the design behaviors of engineers, engineering students and designers [16].
