Although students seem to enjoy the flipped approach,their performance seems about the same as, or in some cases even worse than, that of studentsin the regular sections. Thus Thomas and

The Virtual Theatre is a mixed reality simulator which enables unrestrictedmovement through a virtual environment and therefore is used in an upright body posture.The user can move around within the environment by just walking in the desired direction.Therefore the control mode of locomotion is walking naturally.

toolsthat are being developed to achieve project objectives, the work related to the development ofcase studies is described here. Historically, case studies have been as educational tools inbusiness, law and medicine but not so much in software engineering. The hypothesis is that casestudies would be effective educational tools to introduce real-world professional practices intothe classroom which would help the students in identifying and solving problems, and develop aperspective on knowledge application. In this paper we describe a set of V&V related case-studies that we have drawn from industry experiences and developed them as pedagogical tools.These case-studies cover several important topics in S/W V&V domain such as software
with the first answer, the first answer isnot correct. In cases 2 and 4, the instructor gives feedback on why the answer to the follow-up isnot consistent. Here are some examples: Q1’s answers are correct, o but the answer to the follow-up is, “Only A or B can drive. o Instructor’s response: Why didn’t you select the third option, (A, B, C, C)? Selected (B, C, A, D), but not (A, B, D, C). o Follow-up answer was, “Because all the other answers except the answer I choose they put B in the back and B is the driver who should be in the front (sic).” o Instructor’s response was, “You explained correctly what you did, but you got part of Q1 wrong. Please read the question more carefully next time. Q1’s answer is

The Model B Raspberry Pi has twicethe SDRAM, an additional USB 2.0 port (both of which are moved to an integrated 3-port USBhub,) and a 10/100 MBit/s Ethernet USB adapter which takes up one of these ports on the hub;the tradeoff is that the Model B takes 3.5W of power as opposed to the 1.5W required by theModel A. Both Models run on a variety of Linux distributions such as Raspbian (a DebianWheezy port) and Pidora (a Fedora port), in addition to other OS such as OpenElec and RISCOS. The official distributions are optimized for the CPU's ARMv6 instruction set and are freelyavailable for download, yet many more are available for download. 5 Nearly all distributions areLinux-based, with the notable exception of Plan 9 developed by Bell Labs
