One study highlighted the online students’frustration due to lack of instruction interaction, inability to chat with peers to clear up questions,and difficult in paying attention online versus in-person [4]. Another study noted the high quantityof planning and preparation required of faculty teaching in a HyFlex mode in order for the learningto be effective [5]; since faculty cannot predict how many students will participate in each formatfor each class session, they may need to make changes on the fly to accommodate group work, forexample.Virtual Synchronous

An unanticipated benefit of this change was that many project clients who arenormally scattered across the globe could view the pre-recorded presentations and attend the live,virtual discussion session. Students were able to directly interact with their clients, when intypical years, that would not have been feasible.Additionally, as project materials were abandoned on campus as students retreated, many teamsno longer had the necessary resources to continue with their earlier plans.

Poor quality introductory courses are citedas reasons why STEM students do not persist in their planned majors (O'Neal et al., 2007; PCAST,2012). Graduate TAs teach many of these courses, and although they are not cited as a majorreason for STEM majors leaving, can certainly contribute to overall success or failure of a course(O'Neal et al., 2007). TAs may not have prior teaching experience and/or any training to teach, as graduateprograms typically focus largely on research training. Furthermore, they may not haveopportunities for teaching professional development. This can lead to challenges, not only

Successful engagement early in a student’s courseof study is critical as early engagement is sometimes insufficient at large universities, wherestudents do not normally feel “belonged” early due to large class sizes or lack of interactionamong students for a variety of reasons [2].

These teams do atrial run to familiarise the students with the gameplay (1). In the next phase, a business plan (2)has to be written by each company in the game, before the teams start to play the game. In thethird phase, the game will be played and the teams need to execute their business plan (3).Finally, the teams need to develop a year report (4) and
