platforms Abstract: In this paper, we propose an efficient three-module pedagogical system for embedded systems learning, which will provide students effective ways of learning embedded systems through basic concepts, current technology for hardware and software design, and team projects. The proposed pedagogical approach is based on systematic learning through evidence-based teaching, knowledge mobilization, and research strategies. In our approach, it is recommended to use two platforms, µVision (simulator) and one microcontroller (hardware), such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is a small (900 MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU) single-board computer developed by Raspberry Pi Foundation and Arduino is the most popular

Such a framework helps effective pedagogical strategies such as activelearning (AL) and project-based learning (PBL), which are especially relevant to a highly lab-orientedcourse such as this course titled ‘Introduction to Animation’. Finally, the framework has also beentested on a range of VR media to check its accessibility. On the whole, this proposed framework canbe used to not only teach basic modeling and animation concepts such as spatial coordinates, coordinatesystems, transformation, and parametric curves, but it is also used to teach basic graphics programmingconcepts. Hence, instead of a touchscreen, the modules have to be developed from scratch for accessvia regular desktop PCs. Such a framework helps effective pedagogical

to work in team-based environments has been frequently listed as one of the highly desiredcompetencies involved in preparing students for career success. Typically CGT courses are highly‘computer-centric’ and involve labs, projects, and even exams require students to spend considerabletime working on computers, leaving little or no time for communication and teamwork. Hence, as apractical alternative, this team-quiz activity was developed that entailed students to thoroughly reviewthe materials and prepare quiz materials based on that. The detailed quantitative and qualitativefeedback collected from the post-activity surveys demonstrate the effectiveness of this collaborativeactivity and its usefulness in promoting teamwork, while

In addition, in the aspect of teaching computerarchitecture, a practical teaching methodology is needed. Since thetraditional classroom lecture-based teaching has many limitationson the learning capability, team-based learning methodologieshave been adapted in many disciplines in the areas of science andengineering. For the disciplines of computer science and computerengineering, project-based learning has been used as a popularmethodology in helping students to understand course materialsand to apply theoretical knowledge to solve real-world

As a result, the videos created for the two grants were short and modular, withmost videos being less than 10 minutes in length and covering a single topic or example; shortvideos are generally preferred by students [9], [10], [11].

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that occupations in information technology andComputer Science will grow 13 percent from 2016 to 2026 [1]. Regardless, most K-12 schools in theUS and other countries do not currently offer Computer Science courses, so state legislatures haveturned their attention to incorporating these programming skills in K-12 curricula. For example, inthe Wyoming Legislature’s 2018 Budget Session, Senate File 29 was passed, adding Computer Sci-ence and computational thinking to the state educational program [2]. This bill requires ComputerScience to be incorporated into the K-12 curriculum by the 2022-23 school year
