Theimplementation builds upon previous work of using adaptive 3D coordinate models to facilitatehands-on experiential problem-solving in group laboratory sessions. In the first phase of theproject, the authors sought to develop and construct the physical units to use in the modules andto identify the topics in the courses the modules should cover. In the second phase of the project,the authors have worked with other faculty teaching the courses to implement the experientiallearning modules.
