In order to rectify the current situation, the InteractiveLearning and Collaboration Environment, or InterLACE, project seeks to design a suite of technological tools thatfacilitates class-wide collaborative sense-making.

This“if” statement is not necessarily a given fact, for all of us can probably recount instructors alongthe way whose focus was not on student learning, but rather research, retirement, personalinterests, advancement, etc. However, given that student learning is the primary goal for aninstructor, we observe that it is paramount that the students learn concepts before details. Asengineers, it is somewhat ironic that we are espousing the value of concepts over details becausewe are naturally detail-oriented, but we think that begs the point: this observation is even moreimportant for engineers (or Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics [STEM]students in general
