Table 2 shows the strengths of eachtool. Excel, Google Forms, and Canvas are readily available to the university community. Whilethe spreadsheet-based methods are easy to use, they are tedious for the coordinator to compile.Spreadsheet tools and SearchLight require faculty to submit an outcome score for each student atthe conclusion of the course. While these scores are linked to signature assessment instruments,it is not clear how faculty aggregate performance and determine the scores. Canvas overcomesthis limitation by clearly linking the

Thisprocess was emphasized for students to reflect and modify their problem identification as theygain knowledge progressing through the design process. The instructors reinforced thisrelationship between their performance and knowledge gained through revisions to past writtenreports that were used to build on their project. Retrieval practice helps students to monitor their learning by encouraging them to retrieve priorknowledge [30 – 46].

Furthermore, the constructivist approach to grounded theory aligns with a relativistontology and subjective epistemology which require the researchers to ensure transparency inthe analytic process through reflective engagement [14].

While thestudents work on these two parallel projects, a periodical intervention will help them connect thetechnical approaches to their academic project.
