discussion forums, including social question and answer (Q&A) sites, arebecoming increasingly popular for problem-solving and help-asking. Users of these sites askquestions, post responses, or search information from existing threads to satisfy theirinformational needs. One popular use of online discussion forums is to provide help witheducational content [26]. Research shows that online forums are robust platforms for learning 1as they evolve over time and become a rich source of information for participants due to theinterpersonal exchange they. For instance, van De Sande [26] examined an online help forumfor mathematics and found that learners receive general forms of help that orient the

ofPerusall.The positioning of the comments can be used as a criterion to determine each assignment’s grade.In this case, 10% of each assignment was based on the comments’ distribution across the reading.An analogy to this idea would be that only commenting on the action on 30% of a football orsoccer field would not lead to a full understanding of the game’s action. The effects of changingthe distribution from 10 to 50% will be discussed in the talk for the semester averages.As the semester progressed, comments appeared to be more randomly placed and less dialoguebetween students was occurring. For the last few assignments, comments were given four moredistinct designations to encourage more interaction. The categories were: 1. “Q” If you areconfused

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

online social platforms for education is not a new conceptfor students. In fact, it is not uncommon for a new cohort of University of Waterlooundergraduate students to actively maintain a closed online discussion group (e.g., Facebook) tocommunicate class news, course-related Q&A, and other discussion. Instructors are rarelyincluded in these existing conversations. Students who use these online groups to ask course-related questions enjoy the benefits of peer-to-peer learning and convenience of obtaining quickanswers without having to leave their study area, but at the possible cost of accuracy andcompleteness of response. This presents an opportunity to create a formal discussion forum thatcan be actively moderated by the instruction team

circuit at this point are to connect red, yellow and green LEDs sothat they flash in the proper sequence. The Q and Q outputs from the most-significant bit of thetwo-bit counter are used to drive the red LEDs, which must be illuminated for two consecutiveclock cycles each. The outputs from the one-hot counter are used to illuminate the yellow andgreen LEDs, which are each illuminated for one clock cycle out of four. All six LEDs areconnected between the appropriate output and the +5V power rail, so that each LED isilluminated when the corresponding output goes low. In addition, 100Ω current-limitingresistors are placed in series with the red LEDs, so that when the counter output pins are set high,the voltage remains high enough to drive the
