Engineering Statics course covers most topics of 2D statics, and consists of 20 modules,akin to chapters, with each module based on a set of carefully articulated learning objectives.The modules contain expository text, diagrams, and simulations, with, most significantly, a largenumber of interactive exercises. The exercises offer hints and feedback, thereby providingextensive formative assessment to students. These materials were originally conceived of anddeveloped with an independent learner in mind. But these web-based learning materials havealso been blended into an instructor-led, lecture-based statics courses using either a flippedclassroom format or a traditional format. Student responses on interactive exercises are recorded,which enables
