The findings also resonate with the studies of the roleof visualization quality in word problem solving even though these were conducted with 6thgrade children [5]: there is a qualitative difference in the sketches provided by students 1 and 2with the latter being somewhat pictorial in contrast with the accurate schematic representation ofthe former. As represented in sketch form, the visualization of the same problem by these twostudents is very different. Future plans include conducting a detailed analysis of the remainingproblems to analyse the problem representation step in greater detail and determine therelationship between variation in the application of linguistic, semantic and schematic knowledgeduring representation and

We are using theseresources to help outline what information should be addressed and in what order. We also wantto implement a mixture of tactile, visual, and auditory components to reach all types of learnersacross the language barrier.The medium to present the modules would be best through video and interactive session withtrained volunteers. From interviews with volunteers who have previously working with farmersin Sub-Saharan Africa, movies are impactful because they are uncommon within these ruralcommunities.

. The haptic motor used in this project is a DC 3 Volts/0.1 Amps and its dimensions are 10millimeters x 2.7 millimeters. Typically, there are two types of vibration motors that are commonly used, aneccentric rotating mass vibration motor (ERM) and a linear resonant actuator (LRA). The ERM “uses a smallunbalanced mass on a DC motor; when it rotates it creates a force that translates to vibrations.” The LRA“contains a small internal mass attached to a spring, which creates a force when drive.” For this project, ERMcoin motors were used. The original plan was to use one haptic motor in the glove as the alarm, however, wedecided to use two—one placed on either side of the wrist so that one would vibrate in accordance with whichsensor was detecting

natural water source for the dormitory reported by other groups.The consistent data collected by different groups supports the conclusion that students wereproficient in completing titrimetric analyses.From 2017 to 2018, an increased number of students responded that the lab sequence did ‘notimprove’ their level of understanding of spectrophotometry or experience in using airdisplacement pipettes as shown in Figure 4. This is likely due to a change in the lab sequence. Asshown in Table 2, the total dissolved iron analysis was not explicitly covered in the introductorylabs. Because students were allowed to develop their own plans for analyzing their watersamples, many chose not to analyze for iron. These results suggest that optional techniques

The currentstudy explores the influence of adding a laboratory demonstration, centered on creating an artificialinversion layer, to improve students’ conceptual understanding of inversion layer and the airquality problems associated with it. This class activity was developed for the air qualityengineering class taught for juniors and seniors in environmental engineering by expanding uponthe original demonstration created by University of Utah and Rocky Mountain Power.

Having the autonomy to create and utilize the skills that these studentshave learned thus far not only helped foster confidence in their engineering identity but alsohelped solidify their future career plans. Melissa, a first-year electrical engineering student,described how her university makerspace has helped her conceptualize her future. “Themakerspace really lets you get a taste of what it really could be like in the workforce. It’s a goodway to make sure you know what you want to do.”The makerspace also allowed for students to take ownership of their projects and see their

A report by Allen and Seaman [15] indicate that institutions withonline offerings in 2014 to 2015 are just as positive about it as ever, but those who have noofferings are no longer saying that it will be part of their plans for the future. Moreover,academic leaders at institutions with online offerings have consistently held a more favorableopinion of the learning outcomes for online education than those at institutions with no offerings.Even after a decade of substantial growth in the number of schools with distance offerings andthe number of students taking these courses, the level of skepticism among faculty has remainedvery high according to the authors.This work in progress (WIP) paper includes the course format in the Learning

For such deepunderstanding of other groups’ projects there is basically no need in the OPLChem as eachstudent group has to conduct their own newly defined project but it turned out that there is astrong need for qualitative best practice examples and ideas at the beginning of the semester tohelp the students quickly define their own project topics [11], [14].In the OPLChem the students conduct their own projects and plan their own experiments in theframework of RBL.
