We found that some gamification elements that are often thought to be motivatingfor participants had little to no effect on our course, while elements that specifically targetedmaking the student’s standing in the course more transparent were the most effective.1. IntroductionGamification is becoming an increasingly popular methodology for improving motivation andinterest in many domains [1]. Gamification involves the application of game mechanics to taskstypically considered to be void of fun. In the classroom, this often materializes as a set ofmechanics meant to motivate students to learn more effectively. For

. Manyhigher education institutions have been redesigning their courses and curriculums to meet theneeds of growing enrollments. This has resulted in a shift from traditional in-class teaching tohybrid or fully online teaching. Also, as the accessibility to Internet increases in the modern age,online education has quickly become a popular pedagogy [1-3]. Online course settings not only areable to offset the growing enrollment, they also offer several advantages over the traditional in-class teaching. One of the main advantages is the flexibility and accessibility of course materials.Both traditional and non-traditional students can have the flexibility of learning the materials attheir own time that do not conflict with their day-to-day activities.

of online solution manuals, ever more intelligent search engines,and repositories containing solutions from previous course offerings, the utility of traditionalhomework as a form of summative or formative assessment is increasingly unclear 1 . Traditionalhomework models reward correct answers, incentivizing students to consult online sources foranswers; studies have shown that 90% of students consult (questionably obtained) online solutionmanuals when completing homework 2,3 . While there are means to counteract this somewhat (e.g.,creating new problems or variations each course offering), it would seem that with the rampantuse of solution manuals by students, traditional graded homework assignments are an unreliableindicator of student

. Implications for student support in those differentclassroom contexts are described.1. IntroductionMany engineering programs recruit from the upper echelon of high school students, meaning thatmost incoming engineering students begin their college careers with strong academic credentials.Given the high GPAs and standardized test scores (cognitive factors) of the majority of incomingstudents, it seems clear that these students have the cognitive capacity to succeed at theuniversity. However, what we see instead is a large number of students not performing to theirpotential, or worse yet failing courses and being forced to drop out or change majors. Thisobservation suggests a number of unmeasured non-cognitive factors that play an important rolein

Using the Flipped Classroom Model to Improve Construction Engineering and Management EducationINTRODUCTIONToday’s students are widely considered a technology savvy generation. They have grown upwith technology including computers, the Internet, video games, mobile devices, and digitalrecorders. Due to this fact, it can be argued today’s students are fundamentally different fromprevious generations in how they learn.1 They prefer instant response, simultaneous interaction,and constant communication within technology-enabled environments.2Technology has played key roles in society. It has changed and will continue to change manyaspects of how we live as well as how we communicate. Moreover, the notion of how peoplelearn has

In order to prepare this newgeneration of leaders, graduate programs at research-intensive universities must be able to attractand retain the best students in the field.The context for the current study is the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) BME doctoralprogram.

What kinds oflessons and practices are needed to master key performances? What would we accept asevidence that students have attained the desired understandings and proficiencies – beforeproceeding to plan teaching and learning experiences?
