An author canusually see the feedback as soon as the reviewer provides it, rather than having to wait until theinstructor or TA is finished grading all the students. Finally, peer assessment forces students towrite in a way that their peers can understand. They can’t use shorthand that the instructor, withhis/her superior knowledge, is expected to decipher. They learn to write for an audience of theirpeers, which is exactly the skill they need for later in their careers. Peer assessment has beenshown to improve learning across the curriculum [1].Online peer-assessment systems perform the same basic functions, though they often havefeatures aimed at the types of courses taught by their designers, e.g., art

A long-term design project that integrates knowledge from multiple courses strengthens student knowledge retention. 2. A large-scale design project requiring tools from many courses improves student problem-solving and design skills.By integrating five semesters of the mechanical engineering curriculum into a cohesive whole,this project has the potential to transform the way undergraduate education is delivered.

It aims to optimally integrate face-to-face oralcommunications with online learning, which often contains a written component [1,2,3]. Withblended learning, aspects of face-to-face classroom learning are replaced or augmented byappropriate online or technology-based experiences, such as simulations, labs, tutorials, andassessments [1].An NSF grant allowed us to experiment with alternative teaching modes in a numerical methodscourse, and we began a formal comparison of blended vs. flipped instruction in 2014.

To streamline the articulation and joint curriculum development process, the team utilizes thestudent-centered Wiggins and McTighe curriculum development model [19]. The Wiggins and McTighemodel employs a “backwards design” that bases curriculum development on desired learning, or learningoutcomes. It is an appropriate model, since course articulation is being based on common learningoutcomes. Students transferring from Ivy Tech to Purdue are granted credit for articulated courses basedon shared learning outcomes. This model focuses on

Therefore, integrating technology involves an investment of time learning how to do soand comes with the risk that it may not go well; perhaps to the detriment of students in the formof ineffective instruction.
