separate, and even independent of each other” (p. 2). The student learningcontexts considered in this framework include social context, academic context, and institutionalcontext. Social context mainly refers to personal relationships, group memberships, and inter-group connections. The academic context primarily involves opportunities for reflectivejudgment and critical thinking, constructivist classroom teaching methods, interdisciplinarycourses, experiential learning, and integrative conversations with faculty in all domains. Theinstitutional context refers to rewards structure and campus culture. The framework suggests thatthese three contexts, students themselves, and learning outcomes are interconnected andintegrated.In this paper, we

YouTube is a video sharing website that can provide free educational tutorials and instructions on technical subject matter, where students can observe practical human-machine interaction to prepare for lectures and increase overall course performance on exams, assignments, and laboratory projects. Our goal was to compare the overall performance as well as the level of active class participation between two groups of the same computer networking course. We found that the group that used YouTube videos for pre-lecture preparation, consisting of 83 students, scored approximately 3% higher on exams but 5

Barkley et al.5 listed that "learning to Page 13.35.3listen carefully, think critically, participate constructively, and collaborate productively to solvecommon problems are vital components of an education for citizenship in the twenty-firstcentury". Thus to provide such a classroom environment for interactive and collaborativeeducation and from our previous experiences in designing and teaching in such a classroom, itwas concluded that we needed both a “teacher-centric” architecture to deliver materials fromteacher to students, and also a “collaborative e-chalkboard" where students could

First, online graduate programs are moreaccessible and flexible for the needs of the audience.​10​ Secondly, graduate courses typically arenot as heavily laboratory-based as undergraduate programs, requiring less in-personeducation.​11-12​ Third, while undergraduate education is typically accredited by organizations suchas ABET, master’s programs are typically not accredited, allowing universities more flexibilityin offering some graduate courses online.​12Additionally, looking at online enrollment by degree program reveals some interesting trends.

Freescale’s Dragon development board is often the foundationfor lab station implementations. However, the Dragon board usually is used with a dedicatedpersonal computer at each station, which is expensive and which leads to a cluttered labenvironment. Individual personal computers are unnecessary, and are overkill for the needs ofthe lab. What is required is a central computing facility on which students can create, edit, andassemble assembly language programs, and
