Collaborative refers to challengesassociated with the social aspects of students’ preferences. Some students preferred to brainstormalone and then share, while others enjoyed the dynamic process of group ideation. Female 1: I feel like I would've sketched by myself and then seen what everyone else did, instead of kind of, just speaking about it. Some of us writing it down, some of us not. But kind of generating your ideas on your own and having that space for yourself, instead of having to speak up in front of a group is sometimes hard for people (US/PM).While structured groups brainstormed silently, unstructured groups were able to freely discussideas verbally throughout the entire process. The freedom to talk limited
your lectures are set up perfectly for online courses. N/A Nothing comes to mind, I'm afraid. Things are pretty good! not much more you can do, in class is simply more interactive Possibly having a webcam to show anything written on the whiteboard full room view When/if you write anything on the whiteboard, it would be helpful if you could turn your camera on to show it. Also, I find it more engaging for myself when I keep my camera on during the whole lecture. No. my only suggestion would be having the webcam set up to have a nice view of the whiteboard Sometimes its a little hard to see when things are written on the board, but it usually isn't too detrimental to the learning experience as a whole. Having the option is very helpful during
theconcepts and each new lab assignment. We also presented strategies for approaching the labassignment and writing the report. Unfortunately, this approach does not scale well with theincreasing class size. Hence, we wanted to find a strategy for student success that scales wellwith the growing number of students, without compromising on instruction and that helps free upthe lab time that may be used to provide one-on-one time with students.1.1 Discovery of the Issues in Fall ’18 and Spring ‘19The motivation for using the flipped class delivery method for the lab instructions is based on theobservation of student performance and outcomes in Fall 2018 and Spring 2019. We analyzedthe lab assignment submission rate and earned lab grades. Figure 1 shows
