malware trafficIn a F2F class to be converted, if an in-person approach was used to achieve a particular learningoutcome, we would search for an alternative, online approach. For example, many labsperformed on computers in a physical computer room may be moved to virtual labs online usinga decentralized approach or centralized cloud approaches. More details will be discussed insection 3.5.In another example, in-class student presentations were integral part of some F2F courses. Afterclasses are moved online, students now create presentations using software (Mediasite Mosaic)on their own computers and upload videos to the University Mediasite server for peer review.If no learning outcomes are clearly defined in the syllabus, it is a good idea to

Sciencedegree. Also, there are many online teaching platforms dedicated to this subject. However, there is noclear consensus on what knowledge students need in order to be able to accomplish the tasks thatemployers are expecting. We are in the process of developing a comprehensive curriculum tailored toteaching students the necessary Data Mining theory and skills in our institution.Our proposed curriculum is influenced by data gathered from syllabi of courses taught in the area of DataMining at different institutions of higher education across the United States. Each syllabus was used togather information for the topics taught in the class, the textbook and reading materials, the primarylanguage used to teach students the concepts, and the frequency of

, the preparatory work consists of reading thetextbook, watching (and in an upper level course, critiquing) videos, executing provided codesamples, and taking online quizzes. Students consistently reported above average learningboth from experiences outside of the classroom and during class compared to previous courses.Some students commented that they felt that they were graded on material that was “notcovered then lectured after” (Maher et al., 2015). The authors conclude that while thepreparatory work makes the in-class work more meaningful, it is important to communicate thepurpose and benefits of the style of instruction.Peer instruction is an active learning methodology originally deployed in physics (Crouch et al.,2007) that has been

worth 20 points. Afterthe assignment deadline, students who completed the assignment gained access to the solutions.Each student was responsible for grading assignments from two classmates using a 0-4 scale foreach problem using the rubric shown in Fig. 4 included in the syllabus. Grades from both studentgraders were averaged. The primary benefit from peer grading was the quick turn around time.Another advantage was that peer grading requires students to engage with the assignment a secondtime. Figure 4: Peer Review RubricA final tool that was instrumental in the course was the interactive video conferencing, using Zoom.First, this allowed online students to participate in the live class.

unprecedented connectivity andconvenience, it also has the potential to expose them to a variety of threats and manipulations.Internet security on college campuses has become a primary concern of those tasked withprotecting campus networks. We developed a “Cyber World” version of our team-taught first-yearexperience course at the University of New Haven with the intent of introducing students toimportant cybersecurity concepts. In comparison with other topics taught during the samesemester, students reported a greater level of knowledge in topics of identity theft, safe practicesfor online transactions, fake news, and information oversharing. A pilot online module related tolectures and class activities was well received and supports the increased use

introduce core computer design concepts primarily to college students studying applied science and technology programs, such as computer science and information technology. With a particular focus on single-board computers and associated hardware modules, students are introduced to core computer compo- nents early in their coursework, and encouraged to study advanced engineering concepts as higher elective courses to help them better understand the underlying design of hardware modules. Hands-on ac- tivities and problem-based modules are re-designed with the flexibility to be applied in settings that involve all in-classroom cohorts, as well as courses offered in synchronous and/or asynchronous online learning methodologies, which is

) and a PhD (from the University of Victoria) in Computer Science, and she has developed and taught over a dozen courses at the university level. Beyond her teaching experience, she also has over a decade of industry experience as a software developer. In industry, she has a history of solving ’unsolvable’ problems. She enjoys a great deal of personal satisfaction when her analytical and problem solving skills can be applied to solve complex technical problems and when she can find creative new ways to pass the things she has learned on to the next generation. Her first teaching experience was at Ozanam Sheltered Workshop teaching adults with mental and physical disabilities. The experience gave her the

project was an even mix between process and product, observing the students surprise at the amount of process needed to successfully launch a commercial product. The nature of the project was very interdisciplinary crossing between, software, firmware and hardware. • Credit hours and accreditation requirement: The course was two semesters for 8 credit hours. Several learning outcomes and educational objectives were documented in the course syllabus and assessment data was collected and monitored. • Outcome evaluation: Overall this was considered a “good” outcome in that the company is now selling commercial products. Reflecting on the project there was an obvious disconnect between the industry
