associated critical skill(s) and a number of instances or “levels” on which to practice. Furthermini games will be added in the coming year that address additional FBD skills (e.g., identifyingtwo-force members) or provide different types of practice (e.g. identifying mistakes on pre-drawnFBDs). Care has been taken to have each mini-game target a particular pitfall area for students(with the exception of the place and orient game for drawing complete FBDs), allowing focusedpractice via repetition on a particular mini game. Below, each mini game is described inadditional detail.Tracing Game for Isolating BodiesThe first step in drawing an accurate FBD is isolating the correct body. When several bodies arejoined together to form a system, students can

at live Q&A sessions using chat and polling features, where S =(live Q&A sessions) and P = (student polling events).The results from using the chat forum were positive and consistent. A total of 73 questions andcomments were typed across S1-S3 with two instances of 25 occurring as the high. Bycomparison, Cohort 2021 had a total of 8 questions and comments with 4 as the high [7]; asignificant improvement on the order of nine times. The results of the polling were also positive.The responses peaked at 78 students (82% participation) in Poll 2, followed by a steady decreasedown to 62 students (65% participation) in Poll 4. No obvious trend emerges when multiple pollsare used between Cohort 2022 and Cohort 2021. However, the
