Two qualitative codebooks were generated: the first an aggregated version with one tothree key phrases to describe each learning power as defined by Deakin Crick et al. (2004)6. Asecond, more comprehensive codebook was developed using the same seven categories butextensively defining each, as well as including a list of 3 – 12 behaviours

The long-term goal of this project is to awardgame progress based on class assessments such as quizzes, homework, and exams. By tyingprogression in the game to a student’s progress in class, the student may find the class morerelatable, as their actions in class influence a game with familiar mechanics. The gamified classmay also motivate students to complete more difficult homework and exams. Students havingpositive experiences with giving increased effort on tasks and overcoming challenges can lead toimproved persistence and increase the likelihood of engagement in the class. This paper

This paper details the expectations of students beginning a two-coursesequence in the capstone curriculum. The student survey data led to a rebalancing of the curriculumto one that was solely based on “how-to-do” senior design projects to one that still includes “how-to-do" lecture themes but now includes lecture themes in innovation and entrepreneurship

Since learning occurs as students progressively participate in the community, instructional activities should reflect the real world problems. In this way, learning occurs when students “interact with the tools, people, and physical world” to better understand the impact (pros and cons) and culture considerations of tools around them. 2. Students are encouraged to try on the identity of the community members. 3. Students should have the ability to create their own learning path. Projects and problems should be designed to
