The instructorcan use a mouse pointer or tablet writer to write or do calculations directly on his/her JPG slideswith the script appearing immediately on the screens of all students, each of who has their ownaccount (cost is $15/semester). This account also gives them access to their own slide file set foreach class with immediate access to both the instructor slide set and their own slide set anytimeand anywhere. They can also take notes in a box on their own slide file and interact

It reflected the belief that faculty needed to experience learning in alearning-centered atmosphere and to practice in their own classrooms with continued supportfrom their peers. Evaluation data showed that workshop participants that attend the regularmeetings (i. e., became part of the community) reported changes is classroom behavior; whilethose that did not reported marginal or no progress in implementing changes in their classrooms,emphasizing the importance of continued interactions.An extensive bioengineering curriculum

Also institutional barriersinhibiting access to higher education included the high cost of tuition, and diminishedaffordability [4].

The data are shown in Table 2 for thebridges combined and in Tables 5a and 5b for the programs separately. Math course letter gradeswere converted to a numeric grade point equivalent using a standard scale (e.g., A = 4.0, F =0.0). Students who participated in the math-intensive summer bridge programs earnedstatistically higher grades, by half a letter grade, in their first college math
