’, ‘behavior’ and ‘function’ as wellas similarly named and closely related concepts (such as “form and function”) for describingaspects of design. I have chosen to use the terms Structure (S), Function (F) and Activity (A) anddefine them as follows.Designers apply functional intentions (F) to abstract structures of instruction architecture (S) byexecuting a variety of instructional design activities (A). These structures, functions andactivities are different abstract domains or layers of the design process; each domain capturessome aspect of design decisions. The usage of these terms will be illustrated by an example.Technical content changes rapidly and constantly but the professor has no control of that changeprocess and cannot make design

: Data Rate = Bandwidth*log2(1+ S/N) where S/N is the ratio of the signal power to the noise power in decibels(dB).Now, students were asked to find the ASCII code for the initials of their names and showtheir understanding of the bit rate and bandwidth of the communication channel by repeatingthe Fourier analysis on those letters. To generate the ASCII waveform, students programmedthe Agilent 33120A Function Generator. Next, they designed a first-order RC low-pass filterwith a 3 kHz bandwidth and observed and captured the output response of the filter to theASCII waveform. 1. Obtain the binary 7-bit ASCII code for the first letter of your first name and last name. a. What is the 8-bit code using odd parity? Where did you put

chapter, Expertiza automatically calculates due dates for later chapters based on a rule—that each due date for each chapter is say, two weeks, later than the corresponding due date for the latest prerequisite chapter. Thus, if Chapter 1’s resubmission deadline is, say, on Sept. 3, and Chapter 1 is a prerequisite for Chapter 2, then Chapter 2’s resubmission deadline will be on Sept. 17. The system sends an e-mail reminder to each student a day or two before the deadline for submitting or reviewing (the instructor determines how far in advance the e-mail is sent). 4.

This study is guided under the premise that people’s ways ofexperiencing phenomena result from the unique interaction of their understanding of thephenomena and the situation in which they must apply that understanding 6 . Our ultimate goal isthat by identifying, comparing, and contrasting students’ understandings and strategies toapproach problems, more effective instructional approaches will be identified.Theoretical FrameworksProblem-based learning and Computational thinking theoretical frameworks are merged in thedesign and analysis of this study.
