Approximately 120 students attend a one-hour lecture in an auditorium. Thefollowing day, students attend a small lab session, usually 26 students, to allow more contactwith each student while s/he practices. There has been concern voiced regarding large lectureswith respect to attendance rates, effectiveness of large lecture instruction, and connectivitybetween the instructor and students15. To provide a more flexible learning environment and improve student learningoutcomes16-18, a blended learning approach was adopted in 2010 by approximately half of theEGR115

A set of two activities along withworksheets and explanatory materials was developed for each misconceptionarea. These were tested at over 15 institutions.
