that meet the needs of a broadaudience is analogous to the reuse of software modules: it is difficult to create modules that can be widelyreused. This process is expensive, and with constantly emerging technological areas, modules need to becontinually updated. We have created a framework, ExplaNet, that allows students to author course content for each otherin a guided assessment environment. ExplaNet can be seen as an extension to course discussion boards,which are frequently used to post and answer student questions with instructor moderation. In ExplaNet,the instructors post questions for students to solve, posting their explanations. Explanations can be sub-mitted in a variety of multi-media formats. If questions cover important
tests, individual and groupexams, peer evaluation, and focus group interviews. The results show that students are buildinga better understanding of the main physics concepts, are more successful at solving problems,and are generally on-task and communicating well during group activities.I. IntroductionThe ABET 2000 criteria represent a radical departure in evaluating undergraduate educationprograms. Rather than require engineering and technology programs to conform to a set of Page 5.284.1national standards, the ABET 2000 criteria requires these programs to define their own learningobjectives, use these objectives to develop measurable outcomes
