The authorsof the seven best papers will be invited to the university to present their papers. In this way,many more students will hear speeches by their peers – one of the groups they listen to whendeciding what kind of career they will pursue8.According to Campbell, et.

Teamwork assessment tools like CATME (a web-based peer evaluation tool foundat catme.org) can help instructors identify teaming problems amongst students [11], [12].Challenges remain, however, for instructors of large courses who want to address such problemsin getting enough of the right kind of information to effectively intervene to help studentsimprove their teamwork skills, and then knowing how best to coach teams exhibiting evidence ofdysfunction.Researchers have established the outsized burden that minoritized teammates carry

Using Jonassen’s9seven steps of ill-defined problem solutions to classify the observations and analyze howsuccessfully peer contributions are made by each student, researchers are able to follow howstudents collaborate, organize themselves, and share experiences to conduct their design tasks.Also, one of the authors of this study, who was one of the course instructors, shares his thoughtson the experience of teaching this course for students with varying backgrounds and interests.This paper approaches multidisciplinary problem solving through the lens of socialconstructivism.

Ideally some type of peer evaluationinstrument is administered with each major deliverable, and team members receivefeedback on their individual performance compared to the group average.

However, what is truly exciting about Java is that, for the first time,it is possible to write highly interactive, graphical applications which are platform-independentand can be transported across the WWW. These features, combined with the availability andpervasiveness of the Internet and WWW, make Java an attractive tool for developing anddistributing educational software.BackgroundTo understand the potential benefits of Java for educational software development, it is necessaryto understand some of Java’s main features.
