Reflecting on what is working and what is not as well asidentifying new trends that can be addressed will make the institutional support more effective.Reflecting on what was done has given a much clearer direction to achieve the larger goal ofusing technology to improve the learning experience for everyone on campus.ConclusionsIn this paper we documented an attempt to promote the adoption of an online grading tool at asmall teaching-focussed institution. The literature predicted a slow adoption process at the earlystages and was experienced in this case study as well. After an anamolous time with thepandemic, multi-tiered sets of trainings were designed to target early adopters to reinvigorate thediffusion of the

The networking tools componentswere meant to provide the students with hands-on experience and familiarity with networkingtools. Homework assignments were graded as “high pass”, “low pass”, “revision needed”, or“fail”. The homeworks consist of questions labeled “low pass” (LP) and “high pass” (HP).Students must pass all the LP questions to receive a “low pass” in the homework. Students mustpass all the “low pass” questions and a fraction of the HP questions as specified in advance toreceive a “high pass” in the homework. If a student receives a “low pass” or “revision needed”grade, the student may revise and resubmit their homework

While all eight dimensions of wellness are present in ENGR 2100, they are notequally emphasized. Table 1 shows the portion of course activities (in-classdiscussions/activities and out-of-class assignments) that integrate each wellness dimension.Totals in Table 1 sum to over 100%, reflecting the fact that many activities incorporate morethan one dimension of wellness. It should be noted that the degree to which specific wellnessdimensions are independent vs. overlapping or confounding is an open question in the literature.Thus, the information in Table 1 is helpful in understanding the

However, no further progress wasseen in solving difficult problems beyond week 8.When evaluating the internal consistency of the formative assessments for all eleven items usingCronbach’s alpha with 61 samples, the result was α = .88. The score falls in the range forCronbach’s alpha scores from .84 to .90, indicating the test is reliable using the criteria from [13].The assessment scores from the five assessments reflect students’ learning progress. As indicatedin Figure 2, students’ performance increased steadily from week 6 to week 8 followed by a plateauafter week 8. This can be partly explained by the students’ practice methods.

Members ofgender groups form a set of social norms for evaluating the grouped individuals andstandardizing a set of beliefs about them (i.e., gender stereotypes) [14]. Gender stereotypes notonly reflect the general expectations about group members (e.g., boys, girls, men, and women),but also influence who they should be, how they perceive differences among each other, and howthey should behave [15].The concept of gender identity varies throughout the literature (e.g., [10], [14], [16], [17], [18]),with some researchers arguing that it is a stable concept and others

Although there are more than four thousand students represented in the dataset, itshould be noted that a single institution may limit the direct transfer of conclusions to otherinstitutions. Likewise, engineering is a unique test bed for this analysis due to the lack ofrepresentation of non-White and non-male students. This duality in minoritization can result inunique trends specific to engineering. However, the authors hypothesize that these data may betransferrable to other institutions and disciplines due to the nature of higher education andchallenges in the first-to-second year transition that are documented in literature [9], [10].Furthermore, the
