: Uses of algae [8]Algae is a versatile and effective learning tool that poses a solution to some of the mostchallenging problems of today’s world. Experiments using algae are multidisciplinary andincorporate a wide range of engineering concepts, but also ideas from the natural sciences andhumanities. The basic knowledge behind algae innovations can be shown through algae samplesgrown anywhere, including college labs and K-12 classrooms.2.

workindividually or in self-selected pairs on a directed active learning assignment as faculty and labassistants employ a “teaching by walking around (TBWA)” philosophy. By implementingTBWA, faculty can interact with every student in the class in an informal manner as each student/ student-pair work at their own pace. Students receive individual attention and can receiveimmediate feedback as they work.During the ECE-322 annual continuous improvement cycle, it was suggested that the existingmixed-mode format and TBWA style could easily be adapted into a MOOC [6]. In turn, theMOOC could serve as an interactive textbook that integrates many components such as readings,video lectures, homework assignments, self-assessments, quizzes, laboratory projects, and
