In the first year students selected from a list of relevant concepts, in the second yearconcepts were represented mathematically. During both years the videos were scored usingrubrics on both accuracy of conceptual understanding and production values, and were also peer-evaluated. Comparisons of video scores to performance on standard exams and the results ofconcept inventories are presented. We also reflect on the value of videos for self-explanationand for engaging with conceptually difficult material. Example student videos will be used toillustrate both correct and incorrect conceptual explanations.Introduction

For the project, students are required to develop conceptual and technical design reviews. Weekly activities include discussion posts on technical and communication topics related to the design project. Peer evaluations are conducted via Purdue’s CATME Peer-Evaluation tool three times during a semester and serve as a measure of teamwork. Technical writing is considered a critical piece in the project documentation. Project deliverables such as oral presentations, design reviews, peer evaluations, and prototype testing are used to assess student learning objectives.Challenges due to COVID-19Higher Education

During the first workshop, group discussions focused on how tosynthesize many texts to follow a particular research theme and how to then describe andevaluate the text for an annotated bibliography. The students discussed potential problems withtheir literature reviews and ways to overcome the pitfalls. By organizing the students by major,the group dynamics allowed the participants to have more detailed conversations regarding theirspecific research projects.
