Details as follows: • Common purpose: The primary grade in the design course was based on teams’ development of their design project. Every team had a common purpose (i.e. the real design problem to solve by the engineering team). • Clearly defined goals: teams were required to develop quantifiable and commonly agreed goals, based on the needs of all the tracks. • Psychological safety: students were trained on safety for

I had toexcel not only as a course coordinator, subject matter expert, and facilitator of learningexperiences, but also as a manager and mentor of undergraduate peer mentors (AKAundergraduate teaching assistants).

According to Harriman5, the key to effective curriculum is makingsure that the needs of the student, the instruction, and the delivery mechanism are allcongruent with one another. Before being able to meet the needs of the students, theinstructor must know what those needs are. Because there are many various learning styles,the curriculum has implemented one of the more popular style surveys VARK (Visual, Aural,Reading & Writing, Kinesthetic). VARK is sometimes criticized for lacking empiricalsupport but continues to remain popular in education6.The curriculum has also incorporated the Community of Enquiry Framework7 by whichpresents the concept that students participating in community engagement can

I take an interest in learning how technological solutions are utilized and the effectiveness of these solu- tions. Additionally, I want to be able to understand real-world problems and potential solutions to assess these issues. During the summer of 2021, I took the opportunity to work with an early learning organization, The Children’s Center (TCC), in South Carolina.

look away from RTD tosearch and observe details in the lecture visual as shown in Figure 1. They risk losinginformation, which can slow down or even derail learning. As a result, they spend far less timewatching lecture visuals and comprehend less information than their hearing peers. The ability tofollow lectures with dispersed visuals is difficult without accessible technology.  We address two major barriers in using RTD. First, the audio-to-visual nature of RTD creates asimultaneous visual for the student, who is forced to choose and switch between reading theRTD and the current visual (e.g., slides or whiteboard). If the student looks at the RT, they willmiss the whiteboard or vice-versa as shown in Figure 1. Second, as the presenter moves
