created a hands-on approach to gamify their library orientationtutorial by creating a series of tasks and stamps as a reward for completing each step (Spence).The project was great for allowing students to choose their own path for answering the questionsand giving awards (stamps) once each task was complete. One issue with this model is itrequires all the students and several libraries to be together at the same space and time.Other gamifying projects have been done in a more asynchronous video game format, such asvideo games created at Rowan University for their freshman engineering clinics (Gulotta). Thesevideo games use a scaffolding model, which means the challenges become harder as they movethrough the program, and allow the users to

reversing the roles teachers and students play in a traditionallearning environment, the classroom is then “flipped” or “inverted” [2, 6]. As summarized bySchmidt and Ralph [15], the “I do”, “We do”, “You do” teaching approach has become “Youdo”, “We do”, “I do”.A flipped classroom, when designed and implemented well, can provide a range of benefits. Forinstructors, having students learn outside of the class gives them more time to cover additionalselected topics [6]. Instructors will also have the freedom to use class time for highly interactiveactivities [2] through team-based learning, problem-based learning, or hands-on projects etc..They will also likely to give more personal attention and guidance to the students.

Engineering Education, 2018 Short-format workshops build skills and confidence for researchers to work with data.AbstractTraining for data skills is more critical now than ever before. For many researchers in industryand academic environments, a lack of training in data management, munging, analysis andvisualization could lead to a lack of funding to support sustainable projects. Today’s researchersare often learning ‘as they go’ and need the flexibility of short, or self-paced learningexperiences. Research results in educational pedagogy, however, stress the importance of guidedinstruction and learner-instructor interaction, which contrasts the need for ‘just in time’ training.We’ve taken a distinctive approach to this

Therefore, students with high scores in their science and math assessments,and high levels of proficiency in the competencies measured by the CTE courses, do not developthe interdisciplinary literacy that is necessary for real-world problem solving in situations outsidethe confines of their classrooms.

For a mixture of human and automated assessment, he proposestwo options: weighting both or using automated as a validation (not contributing to the rater score).While AES solves most of the common human rater errors, it does so at the expense of failing todeeply understand the text. It is also confined to the essay domain. Scaling the number of humanraters to take advantage of the wisdom of the crowd averages out individual rater errors and ishighly adaptable to other assessment types (e.g. projects). Thus, we posit a third option to mix-ing human and automated grading, leveraging the best of both worlds in a unique way: we
