Upper-class undergraduate students werealso invited to visit the lecture, demonstrate their poster presentations, and provide tips forpreparing and presenting. The final poster session provided an opportunity for teams to presenttheir work to instructors, faculty reviewers, other students, and peer mentors affiliated with thecourse (See 4.3 Instructional Support).4.2.4.

of the instructor was shared withthe distance learning students and at the same time, was projected to the classroom monitors forthe in-person students. The virtual room audio was connected to the classroom audio system sothat the distance learning students could hear their in-person peers speak during the class andvice versa. In addition to the classroom audio-visual technology, the real-time chat functionalityof the virtual room was used to interact with the distance learning students in a more efficientway. An experienced graduate teaching assistant (GTA) moderated the chat throughout the classand answered most of the questions from the distance learning students. If any question or issueraised in the chatbox needed the instructor’s

when ECGsignal voltage exceeds the threshold. Students program and build along in a live lab session andreceive immediate feedback when their heart rates (and their peers’) become apparent in sound.Armed with this experience, students are given resources to find wiring diagrams and codeexamples online to extract information from their sensor of interest into variables. They use theirexperience in circuit building to construct, test, and modify their devices and write a lab reportinstructing the reader how to recreate their sensor system. Students upload a short 1–2 minutevideo demonstrating their device and share these with the class. Students then reflect on thedesign, construction, and troubleshooting process, choose their favorite projects
