lauren.n.singelmann@ndsu.edu enrique.vazquez@ndsu.eduAbstractWe present a distributed, scalable, student-driven method for both defining a set of projects andsubsequently assigning students to project teams. This process has been implemented within amixed online/in-person multi-university course comprised of both undergraduate and graduatelevel students who are predominantly, but not exclusively, pursuing engineering degrees. OurInnovation Based Learning (IBL) course seeks to provide students with maximum freedom andresponsibility for their own learning; we seek to radically rethink and reduce the organizationaltasks normally performed by the instructor. Re-assigning these tasks to the students creates newopportunities to learn soft skills such as

Morerecently, engineering faculty have experimented with courses that involve multi-institutions andinclude groups of students from different sites and locations10. These multi-institutional projectsallow students to learn new types of communication skills and, more importantly, software toolsthat support the sharing of information. Students enrolled in these courses must learn how to usevarious online tools to build teams, exchange information, and work on projects together11.While there are many examples of online tools and management software to support studentprojects, there are

Onecurrent type of violation is contract cheating, first coined by Lancaster and Clarke in 2006, whichinvolves paying a third-party to complete an assignment instead of the student enrolled in theclass [4]. Some researchers have even discovered “ghost students,” in which a fee is paid foranother person or company to enroll in an online course for an entire semester on behalf ofsomeone else [5]. Even though contract cheating and ghost-students are extremely severeviolations because of the awareness of the deviousness of the act, the underlying motivations forthese types of violations often reflect the same causes as other forms of academic integrityviolations [4].Students have cited a variety of motivations for engaging in academic

, faculty most likely needed to meet weeklyor every other week to achieve the best integration of these courses. We also feel that a numberof classes need to meet jointly, with both instructors present in the classroom—something wewere not able to do a lot this semester because of scheduling incompatibilities. One future goalmight be to have a joint syllabus, which could resemble the shared activities worksheet that wedeveloped during planning.Discussion: Some Activities that WorkedDuring the first few weeks of class, we realized that our initial worksheet of outcomes was ratherambitious and most likely not achievable with the current set-up. As we regrouped, we agreedthat each team would focus on building a significant shared project. Following

Another major change to the course was the addition of a 1 hour and45 minute lab section to the course. The lab section was scheduled weekly, but the intent was tooffer 5-6 labs per semester on key topics and to also use the time for exams.It is difficult to accurately quantify the change in course content from one semester to another,but using the topics listed in the syllabus as a guide, the total number topics covered in the coursewas reduced by approximately 25%.
