In the ideate stage, students use divergent thinking to brainstorm possiblesolutions to the design challenge. Then, they use convergent thinking to analyze whether theseideas meet the design requirements identified in the previous stage.

Are there images or equations that would be just as effective if presented in their final form, or should you plan to develop those as you might in a face-to-face course?. Remember students have a pause button they do not have in a live class where writing and reflective time is important. Shorter videos also ease your burden as there is less cost associated with technical glitches or individual errors that can wipe out a recording in process. 6. Accountability and Engagement.

At thesame time, more than a quarter (25%) of first-year male college students declared a physicalscience major [3].

Once a destination isfed to GPS, the device guides the driver throughout the journey and the driver takes action tonavigate correctly to the chosen destination. Similarly, learning outcomes are guiding tools thatguide the students to the desired results of the planned course [6].

Specific measures are therefore made correctly and reported into the system at the end ofthe semester. It is important to note that this system relies on faculty cooperating with thespecific measures that have been defined. Although there is some room for creativity inmeasuring outcomes, consistency in making the measurements makes the meta analysis easier.Since we have intentionally kept the number of measures for each course relatively small(typically 1-3 per course), instructors are not overly constrained in how they assess the courseobjectives.Adjuncts need only be informed of the specific measures expected – the
