Like Mission to Mars, this program consistedof four days of activities. Day one began with an introduction to game design principles. These consisted ofseven principles: (1) Principle of isolation: introducing new elements in a way that allowsplayers to familiarize with new enemies or mechanics before they are set in a real situation. (2)Principle of accomplishment: gives players a sense of motivation and direction either throughstory progression or the mastering of skills. (3) Teach without teaching principle: help playerslearn by doing instead of relying on step-by

professional uses of Termediator include collaborative projects (both inter- andintradisciplinary) and telecommuting work situations. Termediator also has a distinct role in ITeducation, where it is imperative to include pedagogy that sensitizes students to the potential formisunderstanding because of semantic differences in commonly used terms.1. INTRODUCTIONCognitive dissonance refers to a situation when an individual is simultaneously holding twocontradictory beliefs. The term was coined in 1954 by psychologist Leon Festinger, whoproposed the combined presence of contradictory beliefs produces psychological discomfort inthe individual, and the greater the discomfort, the greater the desire to reduce the dissonance ofthe two cognitive elements20

Professor Bahls wasan integral part of Workshop #1, in which he presented strategies of integrated writing assignmentsin regular, non-writing-intensive courses. The 8 faculty recruits were from science-relateddisciplines across the university. Each faculty member teaches between 1 and 3 courses thatinclude a writing assignment. Student participants were be drawn from the faculty members’courses, for an approximate total number of 160-200 students.Genres in Academic and Workplace Engineering Environments Various writing genres have been identified during faculty discussions and activities overthe course

Throughout the SLA sections, self-paced videoswere developed for the students, consistent with and supplementing in-class instructionalstrategies. As well, peer supportive techniques, such as ‘think, pair, share’ and moderateddiscussion boards, were used throughout the projects in SLA course sections12-15.

Many Universities are now offering Cyber securityrelated programs for non IT students as well. A program such as Masters in Cyber SecurityManagement does not require students to have extensive technical knowledge [16].

As depicted bytwo snapshots in Figure 1, our live instructions integrate PowerPoint slides with the instructor’svideo, which nicely emulates face-to-face instructions. Moreover, the live instructions can berecorded, edited, and shared over Google+ and YouTube. Indeed by following our recipe, anyinstructor can create online classes with PowerPoint slides, video, and audio integrated byhimself/herself, that is, without resorting to a professional crew.

address a particular course learning outcomethat in turn is linked to a program learning outcome. This practice is often used toevaluate the effectiveness of a course as well as to identify any need for coursemodifications and improvements. When assessment is in the form of a test, then theadministration, collection and the final aggregate report generation becomes a timesconsuming task that often introduces delays in planning. In this paper we present a web-based software tool that is primarily designed and developed for automating the courseassessment process. It automates the test creation, grading and the final reportgeneration that can help save time, reduce errors and produce variety of reportsummaries for better decision making.1

solution is a new cloud service known as HPC-as-a-Service.In this paper, we present an HPCaaS platform called ASETS which uses Software DefinedNetworking (SDN) technologies to smooth the execution of parallel tasks in the cloud. Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1.

If thepublish-and-subscribe method is not used, care must be taken to ensure there are sufficientindexers to handle the workload even during peak throughput. To have enough resilience in thesystem, it is always a good idea to have n+1 indexers. With the use of a broker, it is possible tolose all but one indexer for each class of data with pub/sub, or all but only one indexer foroperating the broker as a simple key-value store. By keeping at least one indexer alive, data canstill be processed into the searchable storage.Once all the data has been funneled and processed, it must be stored in some sort of searchablefashion.
