Each module has sixcomponents: 1) assigned background material, 2) a list of supplemental resources, 3) a lecturevideo, 4) a faculty conversation video, 5) a multiple choice quiz, and 6) a written discussionassignment. The assigned background material ranges from third party videos describing atechnology in more depth (such as [1]) to scholarly articles discussing related issues (such as[2]), to short stories illustrating relevant issues (such as [3]). A list of supplemental materials isposted along with the assigned background material. This list provides students with a startingpoint to dig further into a desired topic as well as find resources for the course project. Thelecture videos are 20-40 minutes long

. Mike’s research concerns how people think and learning, and specifically how technology can enhance the way people think and learn. His NSF-funded project, GEEWIS (http://www.geewis.uconn.edu/), focused on streaming real-time water quality pond data via the Internet and providing support for the integration of this authentic data into secondary and higher education science classrooms. His approach features the analysis of log files, ”dribble files,” that maintain time-stamped listing of navigation choices and lag time. This approach has been applied to hypertext reading (Spencer Foundation grant), videodisc-based prob- lem solving (Jasper project), and online navigation (Jason project). Recent work concerns playful
projects with real world applications1 or the development and use of an overallumbrella of challenges to which engineering faculty can design lectures, course modules,or entire courses.2 A variety of examples exist for the use of public health as an authenticlearning opportunity for students of engineering.3, 4, 5 A similar approach to integratepractice into the classroom has been attempted in parallel within the field of nursing. Forexample, Alexander and co-workers reported on the use of waterborne disease caseinvestigation as a tool for simulating public health nursing practice.6 As described byAlexander and co-workers, the project offered a total of 157 undergraduate nursingstudents in a public health nursing course a chance to learn the

But moreover, we believed that senior-level students who have hadrepeated exposure to journal and conference articles have already acquired a degree of practicalexpertise in our disciplinary discourse; near the conclusion of their college education, we didn’tbelieve it appropriate or warranted to teach them writing skills from scratch. Rather, we felt thata better pedagogical approach was to help students discover and marshal their own expertise andthat of their peers. In this way we might scaffold students’ metacognitive use of their ownexperiences as readers, as

If experience is not conjunctivewith theory, ongoing reflection with others can produce new theory.” (Raelin, 2007, p. 506)Reflection is valuable for professionals, as well as student interns. Raelin cites Donald Schon(Schon 1983) who coined the term, “reflection-in-action,” and describes the value of “a learningenvironment which permits and encourages practitioners to test their mental models.” (Raelin,2007) Oeij et al. argue that “Donald Schon’s reflective practitioner actually outlines an explicitmodel of the steps that project leaders in practice apply largely unaware” and illustrates withexamples of leadership in innovation projects.
