andstandard deviation in the grades to see if the test grades have changed with the introduction ofthe videos.Results Page 24.1253.4The first step was to evaluate the classes without videos (S12 and F12) against each other todetermine if there was a significant difference between the two classes. Then the two classestaught with the videos (S13 and F13) were evaluated to determine if those classes weresignificantly different. Table 1 shows the test averages and their corresponding standarddeviations. Table 1 Summary of Test Averages and Standard Deviations (s) Test 1 Test 1 Test 2

marketplaceindustries. Orange Inc. was experiencing rapid growth, which caused the online marketplace toexperience a decline in availability. Therefore, Orange Inc. released an RFP for a design-build ofa 50,000-node data center to handle the company’s expanding server needs. The RFP wasreleased to interested “companies” (groups from the CE project management course) whoresponded to the request with a bid submission. ECE students were tasked with developingserver specifications for the data center RFP and acting as Orange Inc. liaisons to the CE“companies” preparing bid proposals. A total of six bids (one from each of the CE “companies”)were submitted to Orange Inc.’s Chief Financial Officer (the ECE instructor) and ChiefDevelopment Officer (the CE instructor

Figure8 relates total site time in hours to final grade and showed a positive relationship (R2 = 0.1717) infigure 8 similar to Figure 6 (R2 = 0.182), final grade and number of chapter s with videosaccessed. Figure 9 relates final grade and the overall number of site log-ins and provided thebest relationship we found (R2 = 0.3123). In general, this may indicate that the level of overalluse of the various tools of the Blackboard site as represented by the total hits or log-ins docontribute to the final grade.
