Helping students understand these foundational theoretical conceptscan sometimes be difficult, and it is not uncommon for students to "get lost" in the details andfail to understand the main concepts. One way to help overcome this problem is to use labora-tory classes. Laboratory classes provide students with hands-on learning experiences that helpthem connect theory and practice. One way

Researchers, for the most part, have thefundamentals of this workflow in mind, but do not necessarily have it explicitly outlined. This isparticularly critical as scientific researchers often rely on graduate students and/or post-docs forday-to-day management of laboratory studies and data recordkeeping. In developing a datamanagement instructional program, libraries take on the responsibilities of orienting graduatestudents and other personnel on basic data management skills.INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMIt is clear that changing e-research technologies and methodologies have led to rapid changes inscholarly communication models

However, students typically express frustrationwith the standard test procedures to measure the liquid and plastic limits. To harness thisfrustration into something useful, an EML activity was implemented encouraging students toexplore and design alternative test methods.After completing the liquid and plastic limit tests

This possibly suggests that thevisualization activity provides a venue for active authentic engagement with course material,similar to that of a laboratory class.When designing simulation activities for a lecture, it is preferable to design them as interactive.This serves a dual purpose of accommodating students who are unable to install the software aswell as enhancing the learning of all students.

Such mutual learning interaction between students is beneficial because students will either be required to articulate their knowledge of a subject in ways that another student can understand or will profit from getting an alternative perspective from a peer on how to approach a problem.For the author’s courses, students are provided a variety of ways to demonstrate learning of thecourse material.
