Three databases were selectedfor this project: Education Source, ERIC, and Scopus. Education Source and ERIC aredatabases that contain sources related to education. These databases were selected toalign with the goal of the project to look into literature which is focused on engineeringmassive open online courses and their role in student learning, participation, andengagement. The final database, Scopus, is the largest source of peer-reviewed literature.Such a broad reach is important to address the overarching research goal because of thefield-spanning

It challenges students in many of the same ways thatthey will be challenged upon entering today’s workforce. Perhaps one the best aspects of this isthat it is not an activity that is presented as “now we’re going to do something international.”Instead, it is simply the reality that to be successful on a technical project, and earn the desiredgrade, they will have to navigate working on a team that is international.Basic Description of ArrangementThe University of Dayton and Shanghai Normal University are partners in a unique articulationagreement for the Bachelor of Science in

The delaysin the application evaluation process are caused due to several factors, student not submittingcredentials on time, delays at processing stations and delays due to un-necessary routing.
