Those criteria for success may take the form of constraints (such as egress requirements). • The story does not contain technical details. It is phrased in experiential and qualitative terms. • A story has to be the right size. Too large of a story is called an “epic,” which must be broken down into manageable stories.

There are implications for thismodel to be adapted for use at other institutions in the future.IntroductionDistance education enrollments within the higher education sector have shown continuousgrowth for 14 consecutive years [1]. Despite this trend, there is still uncertainty surrounding thequality of online programs that needs to be addressed [2]. Online education has now movedbeyond the early adopters and become more mainstream, which is pushing more faculty tobecome involved with the design and delivery of online courses [3].Ensuring high-quality online course design requires

In this methodspaper, we demonstrate the usefulness of this approach by discussing the systematic developmentof our incident timeline analysis. We illustrate the methodological choices made to: 1) explore adiverse set of transitions into faculty positions, 2) identify critical events that impact thesetransitions, and 3) examine connections between events and strategies over time and acrossfaculty members’ transitions.

Bibliographies were evaluated against arubric to determine the type and quality of each citation. Using this data, the team sought toanswer the following two research questions: 1. Does the use of a flipped lesson and team meeting with the librarian positively impact the quality of student citations on the design and final reports? 2. Is there a difference in the quantity and types of resources cited by students before and after implementing the flipped lesson?Literature ReviewFlipped and partially flipped lessons are

However, researchers have indicated that there areseveral knowledge deficiencies [1] in the learning outcomes of the students who are graduatingfrom Computer science and software engineering courses such that those students are unable tomeet the expectations of the industry. This result can be traced back to lack of understanding offundamental programming concepts leading to development of poorly developed software. Partof this may be a result of students and instructors lack access to vetted learning content onprogramming concepts leading to high dropout rates in introductory programming courses [8].While there can be numerous factors that

The Arduino is connected to the Blynk server viathe USB programming interface.
