can beincorporated into high-level Simulink designs, streaming parallel camera and depth images intothe user’s Simulink model. The images are then readily manipulated within Simulink in order toachieve a much more sophisticated signal processing or control design than was previouslypossible in a classroom environment. In particular, the paper describes a new ’VU-Kinect’ blockwhich makes Kinect depth and camera images easily accessible to users in the Simulinkenvironment. It should be noted, however, that since the start of this project, other similarSimulink-based solutions have also become available, [13-15]. The specific ‘VU-Kinect’ blockdescribed in the paper should therefore be regarded as one instantiation of several recentdevelopments

This article provides ten “maxims” that would foster creativity in students: 1)Keep an open mind, 2) Ambiguity is good, 3) Iterative process that includes idea incubation, 4)Reward for creativity, 5) Lead by example, 6) Learning to fail, 7) Encouraging risk, 8) Search formultiple answers, 9) Internal motivation, and 10) Ownership of learning.

Advocates argue that these excursions remainimportant because they introduce the students to the concept of a world beyond our borders, andthat this initial experience will stimulate subsequent more substantial education abroad exposure.This latter argument is usually based on singular anecdotal evidence, but a casual examination ofeducation abroad data does not support such claims.

Digital ink use is widely reported in the literature. Themost common method of incorporating digital ink into the classroom is via instructor and studentannotation of instructor-create content (e.g., lecture slides)18,20. In the typical case, an instructorannotates slides and those annotations are passed on to the student. Then, the student can addfurther, personal annotations. Due to its availability in a limited number of software packages,one less reported use of digital ink is for the instructor to annotate their own projected slides,with these private annotations
