The demand to move from traditional learningto online learning may be even higher in computing and information technology programs due togrowing enrollment and tight resources. After the outbreak is controlled, the trend to moveonline probably will continue.This paper will cover the experience in online teaching and learning in our Information andComputer Technology Programs. Strategies of converting in-person courses to online courseswill be discussed.2.

, gaming complementsrather than substitutes for more formal pedagogical approaches: integrating standard formalteaching methods and simulation games as a laboratory to test and reinforce the relevance oftheories can be a very effective teaching method. In particular, games have been shown to bemore effective if they are embedded in instructional programs that include debriefing andfeedback.12 Perhaps the most well-known communication game is the “Who are we?” game,designed around the principles of the Johari Window model developed by Dr. Joseph Luft andDr. Harry Ingham. This model identifies sharing and feedback as the keys to building opencommunication. Open communication leads to a climate of trust and access to untappedpossibilities.13In this

The freshmen project was developed by multiple instructors frommultiple background designing a student learning experience that integrated elements of appliedmathematics, physics, engineering drawing and a hands-on laboratory experience to design andbuild a simple balance. The hope is that demonstrating the process of integration early in thecurriculum will help students learn to integrate engineering fundamentals and design into appliedpractical projects throughout the remaining 6 semesters of project related course, and may alsobe beneficial in internships and future employment.

The course was developed to fit into the curriculum between Surveying in the Fallof sophomore year and the breadth of CE courses at the junior years. Because it usesland descriptions and legal documentation, Surveying is a prerequisite course. It alsofunctionally limits the class to Civil Engineering students.

One way to address all ofthese is to have students work in cooperative learning homework teams. Cooperative learning2,3has been shown to have beneficial effects on student learning and benefits for the instructorincluding fewer and better papers to grade. Organizing the teams requires some work by theinstructor at the beginning of the semester as well as continual monitoring throughout the course.To teach the students about teamwork, it is important that they be provided with a structure forthe roles they are to play rather than just
