some important issues that instructors should keep in mind:• Scheduling of the course content should reflect the large variations in time required to complete the OLI modules.• Instructors use different terminology and techniques. Provision should be made to minimize issues related to differences between the instructor’s and OLI’s approaches.• OLI is effective in statics concept instruction, but less so in developing problem-solving skills. Students still need to practice such skills, preferably in interactive settings, such as study groups or class recitation sessions. Page 24.1139.7The OLI Engineering Statics course is a
