The instructor will upload the material onto the class web site so that theother students can review the material. The student(s) will then lead the class through alecture/Q&A session during the assigned class time. They will also moderate the discussionquestions during the presentation for their module

were interested inhelping the campers afraid of swimming to get into the pool and enjoy without necessarilyhaving to swim. As a solution for their problem statement, they designed an underwater domewith a slide used to enter it from the top of the pool.Team 26 “sailor scouts” and team 36 “white tigers” had similar interests. Figure 3 shows theirprototypes. They brainstormed to find solutions to get from one station to another without havingto walk. Team 26 made an inflatable trampoline cart with rails that would be pulled by theirteam leader, while team 36’s cart would be driven by motors and power. Team 26 also addedrails for safety of the passengers; they also made the cart soft so it would go through narrowspaces, and made it inflatable so

Within the CPR1 authoring template, the instructor composes the analyticalquestions, using as many individual items as need. The system automatically includes a last itemasking the student reviewer to rate the whole piece on a scale of 1 to 10.
