Acquisition to Programming Language Study in a Blended Learning EnvironmentAbstractThis paper describes a design and implementation of a Second Language Acquisition in aBlended Learning (SLA-aBLe) project that aims to examine the efficacy of SLA approaches forteaching programming language. The project, which has been running for three semesters,modifies specific learning modules in a programming language class using a series of shortervideos with subtitles, online quizzes with tiered questions and comments, and a topic specifieddiscussion board with Q&A sections. The SLA aspect of the SLA-aBLe study is emphasizedthrough the use of strategies defined as best-practice SLA techniques, such as the inclusion ofself-testing tired
contour plot shows the variation of the normal stress along the x-axis,while the second displays the variation of the Von-Misses stress. The stresses in the model wereobtained using a C3D8R type element. The parts of the model which are more severely stressed canbe seen on the stress contour presented in Figure 4(c). The Von-Mises stress contour can be used tomake sure that the yield stress in the material is not exceeded. Using this type of analysis the normaland shear stresses at any cross section on the structural member can be determined and comparedagainst the theoretical stress values obtained using Eq. (6).

perspective.Case #1: Epistemological PrivilegingImagine a student who is in an introductory college physics course. This student engages withthe material, wanting to learn about electric fields and the forces exerted by electrostatic charges.She engages readily in conversation with her three group mates and always pushes the group fora mathematical explanation, unsatisfied with an understanding purely based on physicalexamples. She also does all of her homework. Here is the problem: unlike the rest of her group,she is not getting the fundamental physical concepts behind the formation of electric fields andthe application of the equation E = F / q. The question is: why?Lising and Elby [27] investigated this question with a thorough qualitative study that

three to five minutes. It was emphasized that there was no right or wrong actionsand questioning could and would happen after the testing time. Before placing the HMDs on theparticipants’ head the authors ensured that the interactive simulation was at the start screen (seeFigure 5). After testing and any Q&A, participants used their own mobile devices to scan a QRcode provided by the researchers, which delivered an electronic version of the SUS (see Figure7). Questions needed for descriptive statistics were asked prior to the 10 SUS items (see Figure 8and see Figure 9). 6 Figure 2. Visual Device Figure 6. Egocentric View of Interactive

, the quality of the analysisprocedures was not the focus of this study.After applying the designed criteria to the assigned game products, the two teams gave theirrecommendations to improve the products. Since both teams have a positive outcome in terms oflearning effectiveness (education perspective), neither of them recommended changes on thefundamental designs related to the education. For example, all the game products included somequiz questions for the end users to answer, but neither team actually made changes, such aschoosing different questions, to the Q&A section. One exception is that in the Avenger gameproduct from Case Study 1, the original game includes one-coin flipping section to help endusers understand the distribution
