of the experience.A new trend in education is to implement a peer-to-peer learning network wherein informationand lecture materials are distributed in real-time to each participant during the lecture. Mostoften, this format is tailored to the use of presentations created in PowerPoint or similarpackages. The primary difference between this technology and those mentioned previously isthat there is no need for the students to transcribe the information being presented as it isautomatically saved on their PCs. One of these packages is Silicon Chalk.3. Silicon Chalk:Silicon Chalk is a software package that allows real-time streaming of lecture materials from theinstructor’s PC to students’ computers.

Next, we conduct a notecard activity where every student writes an answer to thequestion, “(Why) does representation in STEM matter?” on a 3x5 index card.

In the 1990s active learningin computer science consisted of mini-lectures, handouts containing work-out examples, andclass time where students worked independently on projects [7]. This popular method of teachingprogramming evolved over time with new strategies being suggested and tested [8,9]. One suchmethod is pair programming where students work in pairs at a single computer and periodicallyswitch seats and roles [8]. Another method is live coding where the professor writes code in frontof the class while interacting with students [10].

This would enhance thestudent’s experience abroad. Assignments for this class would be centered on weeklyjournal entries.

than on learning activities in general. A collaborativequiz is one based on the idea of paired programming, a technique that has become well-receivedin computer science. This type of quiz requires the pair of students to program together, usingone computer to turn in one final solution. The second method, a cooperative quiz, allowsstudents to collaborate as much or as little as they prefer. For a cooperative quiz, students musteach use their own computer to write and submit their own solution, but any collaboration withtheir partner is allowed. To account for student preferences for active or independent learning,these strategies were also guided by how students are paired. To do this, the Felder-Silvermanlearning style inventory was used to
