Instead,sampling was done by institution using a stratified approach based on institutionalcharacteristics. Once the institutions were selected, the student population at each school wasdivided into subpopulations (or strata) for recruitment (see Donaldson & Sheppard (2008)6 for adetailed description of the APPLES2 sampling plan).

Projects start early in the course and are expected to beworked on in teams within and outside of the class time with formal, more organized coverage oftopics such as team behavior/management, project planning, and technical content within theclass time. Mentoring outside the classroom is accomplished not only by office hours but also byupper class students hired as lab assistants and teaching assistants (TA’s). Usually, the processof successfully completing a project is more important than the project itself with a strongemphasis on creativity and critical thinking.

In the future we plan to add a time-out feature to limit user access to IVLP to eliminate long idle connections.2. In this phase of the project we focused on development of IVLP using a central server. In the distributed IVLP design, we plan to support multiple seamless experiments from different sites. This is particularly useful when different institutions are collaborating together and each institution has limited test equipments.3.

The support for this category comes fromcooperative learning theories (Johnson, Johnson, & Smith, 1991) and “how people learn”literature (Bransford,& Donovan, 2005) that describe goal-setting and self-monitoring as criticalcomponents of learning. Examples of goal-oriented actions are clarifying assignments,monitoring time, and suggesting a project plan. The second category is relationship actions.This category is driven by the social cognitive theory indicating that supportive socialinteractions and persuasions can affect behaviors and achievement through the mediation of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1997).

As a rule, thestudents should only be surveyed on course policies that the instructor is amenable to changing,otherwise the students may resent the survey as a waste of time. As an example, assume that theinstructor for a course has planned for the midterm exam to count toward 30 percent of the finalgrade.

Severalimportant lessons were learned during the first implementation of the activities. First off, whenusing them in rotation it was determined that Activity 3 was shorter than the other two activities.Thus, to compensate, that lesson was expanded on by letting students make an original plan forhow everyone gets to their destinations and then posing questions that made some change theiroriginal plan. For example, students were questioned on whether or not the direction they hadtheir car traveling would be affected by rush hour traffic. By posing this and similar questions,students got to explore more factors that go into logistics
