their learning.In addition, communication and support tools such as an online Q&A tool, Facebook forumand online tutoring were provided. These online resources were organised through an in-house developed “Learning Pathway” tool that provided links to what students needed toknow and what they needed to do. The Learning Pathway tool organised and presented thisinformation on a weekly basis. The results of these improvements are apparent in Figure 4but more is needed to communicate the rationale in ways that make sense to students (seediscussion below).Observation of student learning activities revealed many unexpected insights into whatstudents need to learn and how they go about learning it, from the group in the workshop whocould not

at which coal is converted into electricity, and has the units of BTU/kWhr. A pound ofcoal has a certain amount of heating value, HHV, which varies from 4000-15000 BTU/lbdepending on its quality and carbon content. The quantity of coal burned in the unit, Coal, resultsin a heat energy input, Q, given in equation (6). This is divided by the electrical energygenerated, which is the work done by the generator, W. Lower values of heat rate are better asthis indicates less coal necessary (less heat energy input) for a given amount of electrical energyoutput. Typical values for heat rate vary from the very good of around 9000 BTU/kWhr (38%efficient), to poor of around 11000 BTU/kWhr (31% efficient). Both BTU and kWhr are units ofenergy. To convert

In otherwords, the main teaching role of the faculty person was via the online videos (although in thispilot version the faculty instructor did hold weekly office hours). In order to compareteaching methods and learning outcomes, this course is being offered in a more traditionalformat by the faculty instructor during the Winter quarter 2014, and it will be offered againby a teaching fellow in the online-with-tutored-instruction format in the Spring. The quantummechanics course may also be offered in the teaching fellow format in the Spring or Summerof 2014. The fourth of the initial EE Online courses

The primary tasks of the research are: (i) To assess the Faculty knowledge of SDT; (ii) To develop a measurement framework for assessing the classroom environment as it relates to SDT; and (iii) To determine the association among Faculty knowledge of SDT, student motivation, learning environment, and student learning.6.

Outcomes’.The university then designs the courses and the student outcomes are further deployedinto ‘Course Outcomes’. The university devises the course content or activities, whichprovide the learning experience to the students to achieve the intended courseoutcomes. Assessments are carried out at various stages and students who reached thepre-defined standards become graduates. They then go back to the constituencies andserve the community. Now the evaluation starts in a big way. As Barbara Walward[10] puts it “Assessment tells how an individual student performed with respect tomany student outcomes, while Evaluation tells that, while students are strong in X andY they are weak in Q and R. That detailed information tells the department what
/magnetic fields created by the electrical signaldirectly impact the optical index of refraction. This can occur through a number of possiblephysical interactions including one of which is specifically referred to as the elecro-opticeffect4. In acousto-optics, the electrical signal does not directly impact the index of refractionand therefore within this more selective interpretation “acousto-optics” is often treated as adistinct specialty area within the field of optical engineering. A wide range of applications existfor acousto-optic devices which include laser beam deflectors, ultrasonic imaging, Q-switchingfor pulse generating lasers, real-time signal processing, a plethora of radar applications, andtunable optical filters.

24.1035.13Traditionally, the team-instructor interaction on design projects mostly takes place during thereview presentations in class. For example, after all teams present their design process/outcometo the whole class, the instructor interacts with each team during the limited Q&A minutes. Thedisadvantage is that the instructor often spends a significant amount of the interaction timecorrecting every team’s similar mistakes in using the design method instead of demonstratinghow the instructor would design differently. As a consequence, it is common that the grading ofdesign presentations is largely determined based on “how correctly the methods were used”instead of “how creatively the problem was solved”.6.
