this form of instruction is becoming commonplace in K-12education. A site with similar resources, but oriented toward higher education is “OLT:Flipped Classroom Project” from the University of Queensland. It has case studies inseveral disciplines, including Engineering Design. It has synopses of various ways to useclass time, including case studies, peer learning, problem-based learning and project-basedlearning. It gives some advice on how to measure learning gains. Flip It! Consulting hasa blog with posts on various aspects of flipping that will be useful to educators in manydisciplines. A notable collection of links and references to other resources is provided byRobert Talbert at Grand Valley State University. His intention is to turn it

education faculty. Research grants bring in money, which isimportant, and as a relatively small engineering school we have not attempted to pursuelarge NSF-style education grants or attempted to participate in an engineering educationcoalition.As Richlin7 states, when a faculty member has completed a scholarly teaching process, heor she must decide whether or not to proceed with turning the findings into thescholarship of teaching. The faculty must also consider, however, whether the extra effortto write up the material, subject it to another peer review, and disseminate the resultingmanuscript would be worth the time required in terms of faculty rewards. The sad truth isthat many departments and institutions do not count pedagogical scholarship as

National and European experts areinvited to talk about their perspectives and share experiences about their professionalbackground on teaching matters. This is completed by informal monthly meetings forcounseling, consultation hours, and a telephone hotline for teaching questions.Especially for teaching professors, we have established individual coaching packages andexpert observation of

disciplinary-based education research forher professional development. The area of her focus is in an advanced area of her discipline (e.g.,not the first-year experience), although she will not have a Ph.D. in this area. During her M.S.degree (which was disciplinary, rather than education focused), she undertook a substantial revi-sion to the way in which disciplinary writing conventions were taught and assessed in an upper-level undergraduate course.Julian is a full professor in an engineering department at teaching-focused college (in the area inwhich he earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.). Julian’s primary efforts involve teaching undergrad-uate courses, participating in major departmental efforts and innovations, and contributing tolarger

Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of California, Davis. Dr. Haungs spe- cializes in game design, web development, and cloud computing. He is the developer of PolyXpress (http://mhaungs.github.io/PolyXpress) – a system that allows for the writing and sharing of location-based stories. Dr. Haungs has also been actively involved in curriculum development and undergraduate edu- cation. Through industry sponsorship, he has led several K-12 outreach programs to inform and inspire both students and teachers about opportunities in computer science. Recently, Dr. Haungs took on the position of Co-Director of the Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies (LAES) program. LAES is a new, multidiscisplinary degree offered

why contracting and goal setting in the forming stage iscrucial. In addition, instructors can reduce the extent of social loafing by communicating thatteam participation is mandatory and specifying how each individual’s contribution will bemeasured25, 26, 28. Examples of how to measure individual performance include peer evaluation,specific task designation and measurement, and instructor observation. In addition, teammembers are more likely to be motivated to contribute when their contribution is unique2, 25, 26.This can be accomplished by assigning specific roles2 or emphasizing diversity of thought andexperience within each team25, 26.Defining roles during the formation phase can help the team clarify responsibilities and preventconflict29

. However, whenstudents did reflect on out-of-major courses, they tended to recount a wider variety of enactedphilosophies, including more learner-centered ones (progressivism, social reconstructionism, andexistentialism). Qualitative analysis of students’ descriptions of their most impactful classesrevealed five major factors that contribute to the success of a course: course components, theinstructor, the student experience, the subject matter, and other stakeholders (e.g., peers andteaching assistants). Exploring these impactful classroom experiences highlights connectionsbetween the literature and student experiences as well as supports new faculty who areconsidering the type of instructional environments they will strive to create in their own
