In this study, we reflecton our experiences as supervising faculty, and the results of pre- and post-experience surveys completedby four groups of undergraduate researchers. In contrast to previous years’ REUs, team interactions werenot possible in the virtual environment, and activities were mainly training programs. Students were ableto work with previously collected real data and write code. The participants’ final presentations weretechnically better than those in the previous two years.

They work together insmall groups on this activity, and then report out to the whole class about interesting things theydiscovered. Next, we conduct a notecard activity where every student writes an answer to thequestion, “(Why) does representation in STEM matter?” on a 3x5 index card.

A pivotal part of thisformative assessment is the follow-up peer instruction associated with any quiz questions forwhich there is not a group consensus on the correct answer (Tanner and Allen, 2004). Thispursuant discussion not only helps students who are struggling, but also allows students whobetter comprehend the material to cement their understanding by explaining the concepts to theirpeers (Cortright et al., 2005; Tanner, 2009b).Group activities, termed Explorations in our course, emphasize enduring understanding overfactual knowledge and process over details.

thiscourse was modified in 2014 from its original lecture-centered format to include group problemsolving coupled with kinesthetic, hands-on, discovery based activities. This unique combinationof active learning principles was hypothesized to increase conceptual understanding and studentconfidence in their biomechanics and problem solving skills.BackgroundStructured, active, in-class learning (SAIL) is a term used to describe classroom education withan emphasis on learning-by-doing. Class time is built around a variety of student-centeredactivities with clear educational goals meant to engage students in the learning process.Activities are often performed in groups further enhancing the learning environment byproviding opportunities for peer
