Adifferent approach is required while integrating active learning in both the formats. Student learning andperformance can improve by integrating Active Learning and Metacognition (ALM) strategically throughstructured activities. The author [13] offered thermodynamics course online in synchronous format andimplemented ALM using two-part activity. The first activity is Explained Examples where students pair upand discuss given example problem. Students will then watch the instructor work through the exampleproblem and then write a reflection paper on their observations. This experience will help students gainknowledge in the subject

Adjustments, improvements, and corrections are made in several rounds asneeded in order to achieve the desired outcome. This approach is not typically emulated inundergraduate courses. Students often only have one evaluation of their work, and are often notprovided the opportunity to iteratively improve their work. The Valid Assessment of Learning inUndergraduate Education (VALUE) rubrics were followed for designing the project.

First, a mindmap is simply a way to organize ideas, concepts, techniques, etc. It should not be considered aone-size-fits-all final objective document. It should be considered a living document wherein thecontents can be expanded, techniques can be moved to other levels or removed altogether, etc.For example, there are no set rules on the amount of time spent on a Rank Order and how deepof a learning impact it may have on the students.

reasons for significant changes One speculation for these changes in overall student performance is that they reflect going fromthree exams per semester to four. This leads to less content per mid-course exam. But when it comes to afinal exam when students are required to illustrate overall knowledge of the course material, they werenot able to retain and show comprehensive knowledge, resulting in a dip on their final exam. In addition, logistics of having students take online exams while still allowing for grading ofhandwritten work, required allowing students an extra 15-30 minutes upon completion of their exam toscan their handwritten work and upload it to Blackboard for partial credit grading.

Our findings therefore suggest a strong positive impact that frequentuse of simulation tools in MSE courses can have on students’ attitudes toward these tools in the contextof engineering work. However, because we did not directly measure students’ actual competency, butonly their self-efficacy, it is not clear whether their lack of confidence with these tools accurately reflectsa low level of proficiency or whether it reflects a greater level of appreciation of the complexity of thesetools, which novices would not appreciate.

Additionally, based on the taxonomy introduced in [4], the hands-on laboratories canactively engage students who are physically handling the robots and reflecting on the conceptslearned in lecture. In other words, lecture is generally regarded as a passive learning activitywhereas the “labture” format can be regarded as active, constructive, or interactive, depending onthe activities designed by

Adaptive Expertise differs from routineexpertise, which defines someone who is able to operate productively within a given field [7], inthat AE reflects the ability to apply one’s expertise more
