This technique was used successfully to teach sustainability in the past.14Low-risk active learning techniques have been introduced to engage students even in a lecture-based delivery, such as lecture worksheets,6 reading quizzes,7 and

The game was deployed in Computer Architecture course at Rowan as areplacement to the traditional laboratory experiments. Its thorough assessment confirms thevalues of the game in promoting student learning.INTRODUCTIONThe fundamental problem with the traditional single-instructor class structure is that a singularteaching method is not always universally effective; not all students learn information the sameway
