The present paper describes our experience developing and deploying thiscourse for the first time. We start by presenting the motivation behind this new course, the learningobjectives, the schedule of topics, and assessments. Following, the instructors provide lessonslearned from the course's first iteration. Finally, we conclude by making suggestions for improvingfuture iterations of the course. These suggestions can also be relevant to others considering

In the post-pandemic age, pre-recordedscientific presentations have become more commonplace, including at biomedicalengineering related conferences, including the Biomedical Engineering Society AnnualConference. Presenting virtually and preparing pre-recoded presentations requires adifferent skill set than in-person presentations, and therefore educators should considerimplementing them in the classroom to help students develop these skills early on. Additionally, pre-recorded presentations allow the student to reflect on and self-assess their presentation skills by

’ learning capability throughindividual development and peer engagement. The course design allows students to activelyparticipate in learning as a “resident” living in a “neighborhood”. Besides the traditionalindividual work, various group activities are performed inside one group and among multiplegroups, or the “households”. Students feel more obligated to better performance and high-qualitylearning outcomes. Another focal point of this study is the assessment of student learning underthe proposed course frame, where tailored tutorials and guidance are vital. Although supportfrom the teaching team is essential in this “neighborhood”, we still want to put students in thecenter as the leader of their study. The ongoing data collection reflects the

In the context of the engineering classroom, formationof engineers, and development of subject mastery we summarize these simple steps proposed byLib as: 1) a series of iterative tasks repeated many times until correct, 2) by working with expertswho observe and instruct and correct and provide a structure of iterative and progressiveconstructive failure, and 3) by reflecting on their progress and

approach to learning2. Cognitive presence is defined as “the extent to which learnersare able to construct and confirm meaning through sustained reflection and discourse”3. CoIassumes that learning occurs at the intersection of the three presences – social presence, teachingpresence, and cognitive presence. Cognitive presence represents the means to support and maintaina purposeful learning community, which in our case is the environment of the research learningmodules. It is operationalized through the Practical Inquiry Model (PIM) based on phases ofDewey’s reflective thinking and a collaborative inquiry process2. The PIM provides practical waysto evaluate the nature and quality of critical reflection and discourse through the following four

Academic integration is a measure of the students’ perceptions of their academic experiences with faculty, counselors, and administrators, as well as perceptions about their career preparation at their institutions. Self-regulation is the awareness, knowledge, and control of cognition. It includes the students’ ability to control their effort and attention in the face of distraction and uninteresting tasks [5] which also may reflect the potential lack of motivation seen in the pandemic generation [6].• Academic performance goals as measured by GPA were met with recent cohort

In contrast, anabstraction-based approach to learning—reflected in different patterns of neural activity—mayemphasize the abstract design rules governing the example designs, thus offering protection fromdesign fixation to their features.
