’ lower comfort include: they may have ownedthe device(s) for a shorter period of time and/or they may have only used the device(s) forentertainment purposes and have no comfort with other possible reasons to use the device(s).Comparing pretest ratings with posttest ratings, the 100-level student ratings increased incomfort rating for all devices. Increases in the comfort level with tablets was expected, as allstudents were loaned an iPad tablet for the semester. The increases in comfort level for the othermobile devices may be a result of longer ownership of the device(s) and/or the realization thatskills and comfort with one device readily transfer to other devices. The increase may also be aresult of different students completing the posttest

factors that affect the schedule. The learners’ motivation was measured through the useof an adapted pre- and post-test called the OnLine Motivation Questionnaires.[21] The assessmentresults have proven the VCS3’s capability to motivate the students and increase their generalknowledge of the construction planning process.[2] However, while the VCS positively affectedstudents’ overall learning and motivation, the results still do not fully reveal the VCS3simulator’s ability to promote higher order thinking skills.3. Instructional design of the virtual construction simulator 4 The past experiences of the VCS3 have demonstrated that the game has great educationalpotential. This potential is being addressed with a new phase of research and

hypothesis that there is a statistically significantdifference in academic performance of students attending a minimester and regular semester.Minimester students perform better than those enrolled in a regular semester. Obviously, theminimester students grasped the concepts and materials faster than their counterparts, and coulduse them well during the exams.However, the results of the study must be taken with some caution. It was done for only one coursein a semester and, therefore, the findings cannot be generalized. The study will hopefully generateenough interest to do further research on predicting performance of students in other courses.Bibliography1. Anastasi, J. S. (2007).

morelikely to implement codes into their work even when not required or enforced by law. A portionof learning to build back stronger includes educating to the IRC. Understanding the current statusand best practice for teaching students majoring in architecture, civil engineering, andconstruction science management (here in after known as “construction students”) about the IRCprovides the first step to mitigating communities in the future 6.BackgroundA literature review for teaching about the IRC produced no new publications since the early2000’s when the International Code Council (ICC) was formed and states began adoptingversions of the IRC. Prior to the ICC, research publications discussed the difficulty in codeintegration to the curricula due to

the results indicated in Figures 4 and 5, above, are illustrative of thestudents’ perceptions of the other disciplines throughout the competition. After working togetherfor two weeks, there were slight changes between the perceived strengths and actual strengthsreported at the end of the collaboration. Although it is difficult to discern the reason(s) for theslight changes, one possible explanation may be the fact that nearly 80% of the students hadprior interdisciplinary experience, and therefore already had some understanding of the strengthsand weaknesses of the other disciplines. The slight changes from the initial to the final surveysmay result from the students working with the other disciplines in a new context that ischallenging
