ExecutionInitially, the set of functions (begin test, next question, previous question) needed to completethe assessment are listed. Next, the event(s) associated with each function are identified as shownin Table I. The two events that are monitored during this portion of the investigation are thelocation of left/right mouse clicks and keystrokes. If a key or combination of keys is used thatfalls within the list of needed keys to execute a function, the student is classified as being on-task. However, if a key or combination of keys is used that falls outside of the list of needed keysto execute a function, the student is classified as being off-task. Similarly, if the mouse is clickedat a location that falls within the list of needed clicks to execute a

pedagogical approach, CE most strongly is connected to service-learning (S-L). ThoughFurco (2003) stated that at least two hundred different definitions of service-learning have beenpublished, the distinguishing factor of between S-L and community-service is that S-L isintentionally designed to meet learning (often academic) objectives. Other components commonin service-learning definitions include 1) the need for student reflection on the value of the effort,2) the connection and integration of the effort with the community, and 3) the attainment byparticipants of the desirable outcome of civic or social responsibility.The benefits of CE projects are well documented in the literature13, 27.

However, none of Bobby’s group members elaborated or seemed to sharehis uncertainty. Also noteworthy is that Isabel took the opportunity to broach a subject that wasbecoming contentious – who was project manager – perhaps bringing it up in front of an adultfor a measure of safety in addressing a relational difficulty.As to how the feedback they received during the first design critique session shaped this group’ssocial interaction, findings indicate a decrease in students’ focus on social-relational issues asmembers became more task-focused after receiving negative feedback.
