posting publicly the “self-recorded” student questions onto YouTube, and theUGA instructor would upload his responses via the UGA-CMS as just another Camtasiaclassroom recording. It was very interesting to note that the students were very much relaxedand let their personalities shine through these “public” YouTube videos while they weremuch more reserved during the “synchronous” session with the UGA instructor. So theYouTube approach worked, but the Q&A sessions had become “asynchronous” and “on-demand”. In Fall 2012, the NTU course was scheduled such that it started at 2 AM local UStime, thus we had no choice but to use the YouTube approach for that semester, and mostdefinitely for all future collaborations.B) Students Learning Assessment

mapped the key elements of a typicalundergraduate engineering curriculum onto each of the four selected systems. The particles (quanta) areconserved, but particle attributes are not conserved. We hypothesized the following relations to model therespective quanta. E(t)j=E(0)j + Beta i (1 – exp(-t%ji/tc%i)) (1) E(t)j=E(0)j exp(-t%ji/tc%i) + Beta i (1 – exp(-t%ji/tc%i)) (2) E(t)j=E(0)j+1 (3)Where E(t)j represents the exergy or information of a particle “j” at time ”t”; t%ji: residence time at compartment “j” for particle “i”; Time constant (tc%i) = 1+Beta i/Heat loss(Qi), if Q = 0, tc=1; and, Beta i is the exergy
