the course was completed (p < 0.05). This demonstrates a subjectiveimprovement that could correlate positively with self-efficacy and other attitudes about thedifficulty of the material.With respect to the changes in knowledge ratings, Group 2 had greater gains than Group 3 by asignificant margin for both modules (p < 0.05). This may be explained in part by the awarenessof graduate students regarding the subject matter to come, given their higher pre-survey ratingsthan that of the undergraduates. Based on the means for the post-survey ratings, Group 2participants did not appear to experience such a surge in their knowledge that they differed in anobvious way from where Group 3 was upon both groups completing the post-survey, so the

available to our students. The non-competitive natureof the course has led to students regularly seeking and finding strong help from peers in additionto feedback in the large number of office hours available. Following each of the first two exams(first-chance on exam 1 and exam 2), an email is sent targeting those students with strongattendance and homework grades who performed below an 80% on the recent exam. The emailrecognizes that the student is working diligently, but likely not satisfied with the exam grade.The email goes on to invite the student to a study group with the instructor where students cangain corrective feedback and then participate in peer-led team learning activities [8] to enhancecomprehension and improve self-efficacy.

These observations were also conducted pre- andpost-course.In the focus groups, students were asked questions that addressed four themes: • Strategies: What are some strategies you use when you need to learn new concepts or apply concepts to a new problem? • Self-Efficacy: What do you do when you get stuck on a homework problem or project? • Group Benefits: If you study with other students, describe how you interact with group members when you study. • Novel Problems: How well do you do when the homework problem looks completely different from problems the

objectives, andhighly favorable perceptions of MPCT‟s relevance to real-life applications. During the Spring 2009 term, the evaluation was broadened to include instruments that examine changesin interest, self-efficacy and competence related to mathematics. Approximately 60 students completed pre-and post-course questionnaires assessing attitudes towards math and computer science. These questionnairesincluded multiple-choice and open-ended essay questions in order both facilitate quantitative analysis and toguide the selection of relevant questions for the intended Fall 2010 evaluation. Pre-survey results indicate that in addition to high confidence in programming skills, students have highconfidence in their math skills that are inconsistent

-19 pandemic differs from these earlier and continuing trends in distance learning, notonly in terms of scale and pervasiveness, but, importantly, also in self-efficacy. This switch wasinvoluntary for both teachers and learners. Wei and Chou found that learners’ perceptions ofself-efficacy had a marked effect on their learning readiness in the remote environment [23]. Thisleads to challenges with engagement, as observed in several studies [11-16]. Serhan evaluatedstudent perceptions of the Zoom platform and found that students were not motivated to activelyparticipate in a remote setting [16]. This is in line with prior studies that report a lower level ofengagement, participation and retention rates [17], [26] and overall reduced

Oftentimes, EML builds onactive pedagogies, such as Project-Based Learning (PBL), and focuses holistically onopportunity recognition, stakeholder awareness, discovery, and value creation [7].
