Work-in-Progress: A Web-Based Tool to Assess Computational ThinkingAbstractWhen President Obama unveiled his plan to give all students in America the opportunity to learncomputer science [1], discussions about Computational Thinking (CT) began in earnest in manyorganizations across a wide range of disciplines. However, Jeannette Wing stated the importanceof CT for everyone a decade earlier in her landmark essay [2]. Since then, several people andorganizations have posted their own definition of CT, which presents a challenge in being able toassess CT understanding and awareness in people. In an effort to build consensus on how to bestassess CT, the authors have developed a web-based tool that will enable CT experts globally

However, this isparticularly difficult in large online courses because it is practically impossible to connect withevery single student and follow his/her progress in detail.The literature has also reported other problems that instructors face when shifting from face-to-face to online learning environments that I too have experienced. For example, the time neededfor the “significant upfront planning and organization” because materials should be loadedbefore the semester starts [2].

constraints are very important for first-year engineering students and are also emphasizedin the course. Students are taught that the design process requires an open mind, and awillingness to fail. Efficient time use is important, since usually the first design solutions, orprototypes, are not the best design options and improvements must be made. As part of this first-year engineering course, students create Gantt Charts and a project management plan. Thisassists student in staying on track in meeting the project and course goals, and in using the coursetime efficiently. Their time in lab may be the only time that the whole team can meet togetherand have access to the lab equipment. It is also important that the team works effectivelytogether. An

Even more interesting is that none of the students in the SCADA class studied with otherstudents. The conclusion we come to here, is that this may have been related to the type of course(analytical vs. qualitative) selected to include in this analysis, but we recognize that there areseveral other factors that could influence this behavior. In the future we plan to revisit questionsin the Formative and Summative surveys to help students and instructors to better understandcriteria that leads to satisfactory performance.6 References[1] M.
