At their most fundamental level, a canvas is a one-page visual frameworkmodeling the critical elements of a real-world system. The elements chosen are those that thecanvas’ creator(s) have deemed essential in order to design, add value or make changes to asystem out in the world. Visually, a canvas is often divided into segments, with each segmentcorresponding to one of the elements that should be considered. Based on this structure and ourexperience using canvases in educational settings, a canvas can • Focus a

Many of these coursesare freshman-level mathematics and chemistry courses, as well as some sophomore-levelengineering courses.

This also allows them to build rapport with the instructor aswell as the students enrolled in the section(s) they support. Leaders then hold two 80 minutesessions each week. During sessions, leaders facilitate collaborative activities and studentdiscussions related to course topics as well as provide a safe place to ask questions and makemistakes along the way.

Also they can easily review theproblems where they struggle and reinforce those skills. We plan to expand this work bystudying the effect in multiple sections of the course, as well as including data from otherprogramming courses.References1. Bergin, S. & Reilly, R.
