To addressthis, our project integrates sociotechnical content into an Introduction to Circuits course.

-college information, student information systems(SIS), and Learning Management Systems (LMS).This paper concludes a research project focused on the sole use of Learning Management System(LMS) data for identifying struggling students. While we recognize the importance of other datasources, there are three main reasons for concentrating on LMS data in this project.First, Learning Management Systems are ubiquitous and widely used by higher-educationinstitutions across colleges and disciplines, to the point of becoming a standard component ofclassroom technology [15]. They provide a convenient and effective way to deliver learningmaterials to students.Second, although studies suggest that LMS platforms are underutilized [14], they remain centralto

He emphasized that the core or focus for either approach is not the learning of anystructure and grammar points, but instead communicating the tasks involved in technical writing,although language proficiency still helps students, as it improves student completion of the tasks.Several innovative approaches have been proposed to teach technical

I also taught the online course during the regular14 week semester. This is important to note because the success of the online course hadmuch to do with when the students took it, as noted below.Overall, the online course was organized exactly like the face-to-face sections.
