the attention to the entire class todiscuss the problem collectively. Such a plan is that of one of the authors going forward. It isbelieved that the first part, in which each student attempts the problem not only via equations,but more importantly through written elaboration, is vital and that the instructor emphasize that astudent’s thought process is what will be given most weight in grading. Typically, there is greatdisparity in student preparation and ability upon arrival in EELE 201, and allowing each studenttime to digest and attempt the problem on his/her own is justified. There is evidence thatcooperative learning combined with metacognitve training is effective in promotingmathematical reasoning and metacognitive knowledge [23] and

This change resulted in greater robustness across a variety of platforms and simpler implementation for educators and children. The more dynamic approach to integrating the novel and website more than compensated for any loss in the dynamic nature of the user experience.Future DirectionsFuture research will focus on conducting a more rigorous assessment of applying ImaginativeEducation (IE) and transmedia in a controlled setting.

Lapatto [6]investigated the reliability of undergraduate students’ evaluation by conducting a survey usingSURE (Survey of Undergraduate Research Experiences) and with a follow up survey after ninemonths. The students reported many different benefits they received from undergraduateresearch including readiness for graduate level research. A small group of students whodiscontinued their research also planned to discontinue their postgraduate studies. Other than thebenefit for postgraduate studies, some others benefit of undergraduate research wereindependence, intrinsic motivation to learn, and active participation in courses taken after thestudents complete their summer

While researchers study the engineering population, the engineeringtechnology population goes relatively unnoticed. The effects of a student’s past and currentenvironments in engineering technology are relatively unknown.Researchers developed a survey to gather data from underrepresented populations inuniversities that meet the noted criteria. While the premise for this survey was to learn moreabout these students, their demographics, community and school support and preparation for theuniversity experience, as well as their plans for the

?Our immediate focus is on action behavior in an entrepreneurial setting. For example, given aparticular business situation, is a student more inclined to “jump right in” or will they study theunderlying fundamentals of the market opportunity and take a more measured approach.The trend in teaching undergraduates in a technical setting has certainly veered away fromdevelopment of full business plans to a more action-centered approach. To paraphrase SteveBlank’s famous dictum, we are telling our students to get out of the building. The businessmodel canvas (Osterwalder and Pigneur, 2010) is purportedly sufficient knowledge to take someaction.

Figure 1 for an example in-class activity designed to address this issue.Figure 1 – Example in-class activity plan illustrating who does what when and how.In this particular activity students are grouped based on what they know, so the groups are morehomogeneous than heterogeneous. This works well for this exercise because groups will be ableto advance more toward identifying the key parameters and then finding the right equations whenworking with other students who also understand that same geometry fairly well. Because in thisactivity we are asking the students to explore the material on their own and for the first time,homogeneous grouping will likely lead to more success than heterogeneous grouping.

In course planning and preparation, theinstructor adopted a learning-centered paradigm, while using a Learning Management System(LMS) (i.e., Blackboard) for course organization, file sharing, assignment posting/submission,grading, and testing. The instructor’s goal was to create a learning environment in which studentscould learn to restructure the new information and their prior knowledge into new knowledgeabout the content, and practice using it. Course design included a combination of mini/bridginglectures (as needed), readings, group discussions, exams, assignments, and a team project

Her direction from the start was in first attempting to uncover andknit together existing users and user-groups, existing user skills and existing spatial interests andcommonalities. The difference between what was originally described and how the approachwas actually taken is of interest not only as a model for GIS practices in a library but for broaderdevelopment of inter-disciplinary work across the library and university.The position was initially developed to provide leadership in planning, developing and managinginterdisciplinary GIS services, instruction, programs and collections.

Projectswere structured to last approximately 90 minutes, so if some students took a little longer they didnot run out of time to complete their projects.

dimensionality ofthe survey data input increases 𝑛𝑛-TARP should continue to be effective. We intend to expand thedimensionality of the data by including all the questions from the pre-survey instead of the eightquestion subset we used in this study. This goal of including additional questions poses somechallenges since not all questions have a Likert scale, nor are they all ordinal. Further, in this studywe considered pre-course survey responses from only four courses; moving forward we plan toincrease this analysis to over 200 courses.6. CONCLUSIONSIn summary, we proposed a new data analysis approach for survey data using 𝑛𝑛-TARP. We generateda distribution of clusters based on student responses to MOOC pre-course survey questions.

We invite futurestudies, esp. senior level classes to try out the flipped review process and add to the flippedclassroom literature.We also recommend instructors who plan to adopt the flipped review approach build a learningoutcome measurement that can be used consistently in the classroom-review and flipped-reviewclasses so that the differences in learning would be more visible.
