evidence must be collected to validate fairness and 3) a quality-control mechanism mustbe available to correct poor results. For a mixture of human and automated assessment, he proposestwo options: weighting both or using automated as a validation (not contributing to the rater score).While AES solves most of the common human rater errors, it does so at the expense of failing todeeply understand the text. It is also confined to the essay domain. Scaling the number of humanraters to take advantage of the wisdom of the crowd averages out individual rater errors and ishighly adaptable to other assessment types (e.g. projects). Thus, we posit a third option to mix-ing human and automated grading, leveraging the best of both worlds in a unique way: we

In common, they valued Mindstorms for two general reasons: 1) its role insupporting project-based learning; 2) its potential role in shaping students’ futures, specificallythe possibility that they might choose to pursue engineering, robotics, or another STEM field.The perceived additive value of Mindstorms to their schools is its support for hands-on, project-based learning. While sometimes this is framed by the fact that Mindstorms is a toy thatreferences popular youth culture, the larger focus was on its role in changing the content andstructure of instruction. For example, Jill compares lessons with Mindstorms to her

In addition to faculty at the University of New Haven, over three years 77 faculty at 53other universities in the US have also integrated these modules into their courses. These modulesare designed so that students learn entrepreneurial content outside of class and then apply themto a class project or assignment (i.e., contextual activities). Instructors are also stronglyencouraged to engage students through
