Rather we would like to examine a subsetof threshold concepts and illustrate, first, that they can form a design basis for development ofInteractive Virtual Laboratories where students can actively experience multiple representations,and, second, that experience with these virtual laboratories helps students learn.The following specific project objectives have been constructed to achieve this goal: 1. Validate a set of at least six proposed threshold concepts in thermodynamics. 2. Develop Interactive Virtual Laboratories to provide students multiple representations and help them experientially explore these threshold concepts. Develop the virtual laboratories based on engineering education best practices and multimedia

The purpose of this study was to explorehow AR might affect student motivation for vocabulary learning.An exploratory pilot study of a freely available augmented reality English vocabulary learningapplication was conducted to assess AR’s influence on students’ learning motivation. Semi-structured interviews were used for gathering assessment data. By analyzing the gatheredqualitative data within the framework of the ARCS Model, our results suggest that AR may helpwith student motivation toward the beginning of the application session, but tended to decreasetoward the end of the session.

However, bothimplementing and studying feedback is complicated; feedback content and effectiveness varieswidely depending on the learning environment and the people involved in the feedback process.Feedback effectiveness can change depending on its timing, complexity, structure and content.Furthermore, students react to feedback differently based on differences in their personalities,backgrounds, academic capacities, and understanding of the material.This paper empirically investigates feedback in a project

Our conceptual framing is based onthe assumptions of the academic plan model, which posits that a variety of factors, both internaland external to faculty and their institutions, influence faculty as they plan and design courses 46.The academic plan model (Figure 1) builds on the observation by Toombs and Tierney47 that acurriculum is “an intentional design for learning negotiated by faculty in light of their specializedknowledge and in the context of social expectations and students’ needs” (p. 183).

Thisis certainly a primary reason why the percentage of engineering graduates in the U.S. with astudy-abroad experience remains stubbornly low, less than 4.0%1 .Infrastructure costs. From an institutional perspective, the cost of developing and maintainingthe infrastructure necessary to reduce the logistical challenges deterring engineering studentsfrom international training remains a central challenge. Although some institutions have madestrong commitments in this area, the costs are substantial in terms of both personnel time andrelated expenditures.

In essence, active learning requires doing meaningful learning activities in groups underthe guidance of an informed and experienced teacher. As stated by Christensen et al (1), “To teachis to engage students in learning.” The main point is that engaging students in learning isprincipally the responsibility of the teacher, who becomes less an imparter of knowledge andmore a designer and a facilitator of learning experiences and opportunities. In other words, thereal challenge in college teaching today is not covering the material for the students, but ratheruncovering the
