Theapproach is to find a diverse range of universities that are willing to serve as design partners anddevelop model curricula that both incorporate the BOK and meet the needs of all universitieswhether they are public or private, large or small, research-focused or teaching-focused. To date,18 universities ranging from Bucknell and Norwich to Penn State and the University of Nebraskahave volunteered to participate. The committee formed in August 2003 and is

In those cases,they even completed in-class example problems on their own, despite missing the instructor’soral presentation and some instructor annotations in Private Ink.OutcomesEvaluation of the findings is still under way, plus the course will be taught using the technologyin the fall of 2008, so the findings reported in this study are preliminary. The effectiveness oflearning using pen-based technology with DyKnow was assessed in four different ways: (a)student surveys, (b) institute assessment, (c) student performance on tests, and (d) instructorreflection.

Project ScopeThe initial step in the architectural design process was the development of a list of the types offacilities required to support the functions of the school and provide the necessaryaccommodations for the student body. Once this list was compiled, a required size needed to beassigned to each category of building. The size was determined from the requirements of thespecific task the particular building needed to support and the number of individuals intended touse the building.The technical college is intended to provide training in computer science, auto mechanics,construction, and hotel management. Each of these areas requires space for classrooms,shops/laboratories, a library, storage, and faculty offices totaling
