This worked so well that other students not in my tutorials (and tutors) would browseand ask additional questions by email, and I would respond to them also through the website. But Group-B had problems with the content. They understood and appreciated virtue ethicsfully, because it was rooted in morality based on religion and traditional social norms. There wasnear-unanimity on such issues as truthfulness, hard work, kindness, etc. Most of the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments were reflected almost identically in the Koran, and paralleledBuddha's Eight-Fold path, and teachings of the Hindu Bhagavath Geetha.

Education and Training Foundation (NEETF)/Roper Survey [11]. To ensure therewas no bias reflected from the instructors or the course material with regard to the students’environmental knowledge and attitudes, we administered the initial paper-copy survey during thefirst two lessons of the academic term. The post-course survey focused on the results from the endof the semester during the last week of the course, whereas the pre-course survey incorporatedresults obtained during the first week of the course.The twelve-question environmental knowledge survey linked to the first five themes covered inthe first course of the environmental engineering sequence, consisting of Earth as a System (ES),Strained Resources (SR), Energy (EN), Human Health (HH

educational programs as it is a tool to evaluate or promotestudents’ learning and guide the instruction process. There are many different ways to assessstudent knowledge1. The methods used depend on what the instructor wants to accomplish andwhen/how often, the assessment takes place. The question types used in assessment methods canbe multiple-choice, short answer, open-ended, essays, matching, and true or false and can beincorporated in written reflections, quizzes, assignments, and others2. A commonly acceptedassessment instrument used for both diagnostic and formative purposes is concept inventories3,which refer to any kind of research-based assessment techniques that measure conceptualunderstanding4.

Detailed qualitative coding was not used in this work given the nature of the paneldiscussion and role of the panel moderator in shaping the conversation and moving the sessionforward. This work did not conform to a systematic process of qualitative inquiry and the resultsreported here may be considered anecdotal accounts provided by panel participants.

Attention spans have been decreasing over the past decade with the increase in external stimulation (Statistic Brain Research Institute, 2016). An exception to this is gaming, where it has shown that users are able to engage for extended periods.  Time-Effective Use Gap. Opportunities for a learner to apply the knowledge and/or practice the skills that are being taught are limited.  Pedagogy Gap. Modern pedagogy is not reflective of how the world looks and acts like in the 21st century and shows much resistance to change.Of course, with any new

contextrequires a more thoughtful approach, taking care not to make assumptions based on pastexperiences with non-American Indian students. Another pattern revolved around pedagogicalmethods; some proposed that teachers must take extra care to teach to various learning styles andmake curriculum content relatable to students’ lives, and others suggested that instructionalmethods should reflect a natural, traditionally-rooted learning style. A final common thread thatwas mentioned in two of the three groups was the importance of integrating technology intolearning in order to help American Indian students stay connected to the 21st century. This,however, can be tempered by poor connectivity in some rural nations.The final prompt asked participants to

One major success of SI is the peer interaction. Students can receive positivereinforcement by learning from a student who has been able to excel in a historically difficultclass. Additionally, SIs tend to teach the material in a method that reflects a student’s train ofthought, which is more appealing to fellow undergraduate students. SI is also capitalizing on animportant stage of the learning process–repetition. By the SI repeating the material previouslydiscussed in lecture, students often come to understand the material better. As mentionedpreviously, other

For example, instudying the electronic discourse of a group of computer scientists, Orlikowski and Yates[18] identified the repertoire of genres enacted by the participants over time and showed howthese discursive actions reflected their collective purposes as well as the shared norms andrelations of their occupational community. Similarly, learning in any given setting that relieson repeated discursive acts, which can be
