The responses have a trend of growing moreconcrete over the course of the surveys. A possible reason for this increase could be similar towhy the number of students mentioning options decreases. If students pay more attention to thedetails of their careers and begin to narrow down what they want to do, it is possible that theywould then have a better understanding and increased ability to discuss the specifics of their job.As students narrow down their interest in their

Kolb states that learning is best supportedwhen students are engaged in a process that draws their beliefs and ideas about a topic so thatthey can be examined, tested, and integrated with new and more refined ideas [11]. Kolbdescribes learning as a four-stage process: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstractconceptualization and active experimentation. He contents that immediate experience is the basisfor observation and reflection, which is assimilated to abstract concepts, where new ideas andactions can be generated [12].The Skope applications leverage affordances of AR and VR technologies to

This approach was successfully used in a senior-level course on digitalcommunications [11]. The accountability requires student reflection to provide a productivelearning experience when the students meet in a group setting. The professor can then randomlyselect or solicit a student volunteer to lead the discussion.The F2F learning is a more expensive mode of communication when compared to onlinecommunication.
