for future testing and further development ofOpenDSA.2. Tutorial ModulesTutorial modules tested in this study represent a tight integration of content, interactive exercis-es, and assessment. This presents an innovative way to improve the state of the art in AV andteaching of DSA, as no project previously has tried to integrate AVs with text and assessment tothis degree. A module roughly corresponds to a section (a couple of pages) in a traditional text-book. A typical semester course might include over 100 modules. The vision for the completedelectronic textbook is for modules and their prerequisite structure to define a directed graph thatmakes up a Knowledge Map. It will characterize a viable self-contained electronic textbook. In

Thus, as with visiting any foreign country with a differentlanguage, the lack of knowledge of the native language is an immediate “cultural” shock. Ofcourse most German people are able to speak excellent English and do so with a friendly smile.Through integration of both German and American students into teams, each was able to learnabout the similarities and differences in their educational institutions and engineering curriculum.Even in the short time frame of the design course many friendships and connections between thestudents developed.

This questionnaire asks students to identify three majorsthey are interested in pursuing. It also asks for preference for preceptorial classes and rankingsof other core classes. The questionnaires are used by faculty to create student schedules. Allstudents expressing any interest in engineering are scheduled by an engineering faculty memberto take an engineering preceptorial class. This is done even if engineering is listed as a student’sthird preference because demands of the engineering major necessitate having an engineeringadvisor. Most

Since the roles of theother organization members were more limited, their views were excluded. A further-reachingstudy could be conducted to assess the impact on the university students, 8th grade students, endusers, and other organization members. Finally, it is possible that the COR was perceivedprimarily as a faculty member rather than as the client, and a different community partner wouldhave had a larger impact.Further integration with the end user could be implemented.
