Feedback from the collaborators, regarding the teams development, experiences, as well as the industry-defined competency of the developed assistive device were also extremely important during the semester. This provided a partial summative evaluation of the project and the students’ learning. Further summative evaluation of the project, regarding the usability and quality of the products, is expected to be provided by the users of the assistive devices. Lessons Learned

If 70% of the students were successful, then the presentations wereconsidered successful. Results from this rubric gave the instructor and students feedback, and theresults also provided a basis for monitoring improvements that occurred during the second halfof the semester.Table 5.

time and any where''. Inthis paper we discuss the transformation from a traditional to a distance education model that isoccurring here at the College of Engineering in Virginia Tech. We will specifically explain howsynchronous systems like videoconferencing over the Internet (especially video over IP) arebeing put to use in an attempt to minimize costs while extending the range and reach ofeducators.I. IntroductionDistance learning has been around for the last 75 years or more. Since the early 1930's distancelearning has seen phenomenal growth both in the number of people opting for a distance learningbased initiative as against a traditional classroom and in the technology used. Till about the late1980's and up to an early part of the 1990's

all post-assessmentresults must be compared relative to a non-flipped method. It has been determined that the nextcourse offering for this course will utilize active learning but the flipped classroom techniquewill not be used. The instructor hopes to gather the missing data at that time for comparison. In addition to baseline knowledge comparison, a simple review of daily assignments andexams seems to indicate lower student grades than typically seen by the instructor (averages inthe 70’s%). This could have been attributed to other changes such as the introduction of an e-book, whereas a traditional text version was used prior to the semester when the flipped approachwas used. General confusion appeared to result for many students as
integrating these materials into researchor application projects. The research team embraces others who are interested in teaching aboutmicrocontrollers to enhance collaboration on these topics. The team had designed a commonhardware platform for laboratory modules at an affordable price to learners, which reflects theconcepts of active learning. Thus, learners are motivated to engage in the activities andexperiments because they can follow the instructional steps well and maintain interest.References1. S. Hsiung and F.

To generate time domainsignals (message signal and carrier signal) a sequence (an array) of time values has to begenerated. By using the “colon operator” (:) this can be done in a single line of coding in Matlab.An array of time values starting at zero and ending at with an increment of is created bytyping 0: : to create the message signal and the carrier signal. Here, the time increment ischosen to be the reciprocal value of the sampling rate , so that the time domain signals contain5000 samples per second. Time is arbitrarily chosen to be 0.2 s.

Experimental results show that the proposed approach works well as onecollaboration instance with the work environment, where the idea in general can be extended tocollaboration between two or more robotic machines.As future work, problems such as reduction of data transfer latency, and using network of things(NoT) instead of IoT will be considered.
