Synchronous online learning has received more attention than asynchronous onlinelearning and growing worldwide via several digital platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic.With advanced virtual learning tools offered by several video conferencing platforms, the studentscan interact virtually in the synchronous class with their instructor and peers (Watts 2016;Francescucci and Rohani 2019). Web conferencing tools of several platforms make synchronouslearning more functional and create a sense of student attendance in a real-time learningenvironment.

advantage of using clickers in the classroom over otherinstant feedback methods is the level of anonymity that it provides to the students in answering thequestions [1, 6, 7]. This anonymity can be very helpful in lecture/discussion type classes seen injunior level engineering courses that typically have smaller class sizes. Students in these smallerclasses are more likely to be influenced by their peers when answering questions through traditionalmethods, such as polling by hand raising [9,10], and may not answer truthfully. This can affect theinstructors perception on the class’s understanding of the material, and could lead to some studentsinternalizing misconceptions that would not be corrected.

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Adventures in Transitioning Team-Based Learning from In- Person to OnlineIntroductionGood communication is fundamental to facilitating active engagement online and to providing anoutstanding educational experience. In the world of COVID-19 and the shift from in-person toonline learning, good communication between instructor-to-student and student-to-student can bechallenging. If a student is reluctant to ask a question in a traditional lecture hall, they may alsobe reluctant to ask a question in front of their peers in a Zoom meeting. Yet these interactions arecrucial to maintaining active student engagement in an online

The rationale behindthese success stories is that engaging students in the summer program promotes their interests,broadens their knowledge, and fosters a closer relationship between students and their peers andprofessors, which in turn positively affects academic performance. Different from the previouslyestablished summer programs, our project activities had the following novelties:(1) Low floor, wide walls, and high ceiling: The summer research was based on project

The course material is built around ahands-on project to control an inverted pendulum on a cart, a classic problem in control theory[1] which is often included in Signals and Systems and System Dynamics courses [2], [3].To this end, we developed a project using an affordable system based on an Arduino-likeplatform, the Balboa 32U4

For students it was required that they have a digital device (ie. computer, tablet, phone)which had internet access, a speaker, and a microphone. The ideal device is one which has a largedisplay with a strong graphics card, a webcam, noise canceling headset with microphone, and theability to write with a stylus. In addition, access to a printer and scanner is helpful.
