Course Format in the LMSThe online class is offered through the eLearning Black Board LMS. The course homepageincludes a link to the syllabus, a link to the schedule, the CLOs (even though they are alreadylisted in the syllabus), and locations on campus where computers are available. Since thishomepage is visited repeatedly by all the students, having this information here is a continuousreminder of these important items.A link is provided from the homepage to a discussion board, which includes three threads.Questions or remarks posed in the discussion board are visible and beneficial to all the class. Thefirst is “ask the professor,” where

the classroom environment were used as the research settingfor the proposed research study.5. Research DesignTwo independent topics from the mechatronics course syllabus were randomly selected: (i)actuator technology and applications, and (ii) sensor technology and applications. Two topics weretaught in two separate lessons in two days in a week in two separate conditions. Class durationwas 50 minutes for each lesson.For the actuator lesson, the instructor planned to instruct the lesson following the ordinarytraditional manner. For the sensor lesson, the instructor planned to design the instruction followingthe TPACK framework. Hence, it is seen that there were two instruction conditions: (i) instructingthe actuator technology and

grew students not only grasped the course materials but also know how to apply their knowledge in practical applications which is the most exciting parts of being an instructor. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 WIP: Assessing Student Performance and Perceptions in a “Flipped” Statics and Mechanics Engineering CourseIntroductionThe “flipped” classroom (also known as the inverted classroom) model has been a point ofdiscussion among many academic circles for the past couple of decades. With the emergence ofeducational technology and online-learning, flipped classrooms have become more common.Though there may be many different methods that are used to generate a flipped

with “who to contact” if there areproblems or questions.Blackboard is the learning management system and is shown. The workshop shows how to add ateaching assistant and/or grader to the learning management system. Adding a TA or grader hasbeen a problem in the past.Bluebook is where instructors are required to upload their syllabus so it is publically available.Often new instructors confuse Blackboard with Bluebook since they should upload to both.Automated Student Access Program (ASAP) is a system used by the University for students toaccess registration information, class schedule, and final class grades. Instructors also obtain thelist of students enrolled in their course from ASAP and submit grades at the end of semester inASAP.The
