Online Learning Environments through Intelligent Fast Failure (IFF)AbstractIn this paper, we address the stimulation of creativity in online learning environments throughour examination of a simple hands-on task aimed at teaching the principles of Intelligent FastFailure (IFF) in the context of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) focused on creativity,innovation, and change. A simple physical “prototyping” exercise involving common householdobjects was designed and presented to a global community of online learners using the CourseraMOOC platform.

Without deep reflection students may not gainthe awareness that they need to confront misconceptions or make strategic changes in theirlearning. The second tool tested is the assignment correction, a variant of exam wrappers butused for more frequently occurring activities such as homeworks or quizzes. The idea is that,perhaps, improving metacognition requires frequent practice. If the exam wrapper could beadapted for use with graded assignments, it would provide such practice. To remain a tool that iseasy to use, however, assignment corrections must be briefer than an exam wrapper, easy toassign, collect and score, and continue to consume little to no class time for

In general, this shows a marginal levelof internal reliability, which is something that will need to be addressed in furtheriterations of the instrument.DiscussionIn general, our analysis did result in four discrete factors that reflect the acceptance orresistance to two distinctive aspects of ill-structured problem solving: ambiguity andmultiple perspectives.

For example, a score of (-11) on the ACT-REFdimension indicates a strong preference for active learning, while a score of (+11)suggests a deeply reflective learner. In this first phase of data analysis, we definemisalignment as the (student) – (instructor) ILS score across all four ILS dimensions.

teamexperiences. Second, we focus on negative feedback and experiences, rather than positive. Ourgoal is to capture elements of teaming that may not be captured by the more widely-usedapproaches. A common example of negative teaming behavior is ‘freeloaders’, students whomay devote little effort to the team but who benefit from the work of their teammates. Anotherexample is when one student re-does work produced by a teammate; this will likely lead to ahigher-quality output, an outcome which appears to be positive. However, the student whosework was re-done may find this to be a demotivating experience, undermining their confidence,which may in turn contribute to a lower commitment to engineering. Because teaming behavioris likely to reflect schemas

Students could also see theprogression of their mastery of concepts if they could reflect on what they didn’t know threemonths ago or a year ago, but when they get a poor exam score they are more apt to feeldiscouraged.
