successfully collaborate online, several groups had difficulty working with some oftheir members due to the challenges described above. A significant negative outcome wasprimarily described as a lack of hands-on learning throughout the laboratory modules. Somestudents specifically mentioned not understanding from the beginning how breadboards are usedin electronic circuits. This is typically something students master throughout the semester bybuilding circuits as described in the laboratory manual and inevitably going “off-script” in orderto experiment on their own. Additional specific negative outcomes were a lack of observing“real-world” limitations in applying their simple EKG measurement circuits- by understandinghow measurement noise can be

In this paper we present different scenarios how these tools were used andtheir effect in the final exam results in different semesters.KeywordsAssessment, online, practice, learning, programming.IntroductionComputer engineering students are well aware that “practice makes perfect”, especially when itcomes to programming. Many students when they take their first programming class are exposedfor the first time to writing code. To master the first programming language it is crucial topractice the commands and strategies learned. Many times the textbooks have a set of exercisesat the end of each chapter. They may also have a separate set of lab problems that faculty

Thegrowth mindset is considered an important component in promoting positive learning behaviorsand dispositions, because it promotes success through effort.Dweck also found that students with the growth mindset adopt a mastery goal orientation, inwhich they strive to master an academic subject whereas students with the fixed mindset adopt aperformance goal orientation in which they aim only to earn a grade or to perform better thanpeers8. Mastery goal orientation has been associated with positive outcomes such as self-efficacy,persistence, preference for challenge, and self-regulated learning, whereas performance goalorientations has been associated with maladaptive patterns of cognition, affect, and behavior 9
