ability to use that knowledge to solve problems, which providesolutions that further increase knowledge1. Unfortunately, cognitive development related toknowledge collection has been the primary focus of education in the past.Active learning has been a topic of numerous papers and research since the 1970’s and continuesto be the focus of research and methodology discussions of instruction at all levels. Thetechniques of active learning are designed to move the focus of education from primarilyknowledge acquisition to include the solution-based strategies that teach the “whole” student.Originally designed for face-to-face instruction, active learning now must be taken into thenewer realm of on-line and technology enhanced learning.

remediation in spatial visualization by PSVT:R Pre-Test for all engineering and sciencefreshman students. Based on the Pre-Test results, all students who scored lower than 60% will berequired to take a spatial visualization course. After the training course, all those students whofailed the Pre-Test have passed the Post-Test. It is recommended that even earlier detection andremediation would be more helpful. Testing incoming engineering students and offeringintervention before they arrive on campus and begin their foundational first year course wouldfurther increase student success.8.
