Formative assessment included the bi-weekly managerial report see Appendix A ,managerial and team members‟ performance evaluations see Appendix B and C, timelines andgroup member‟s logs see Appendix D. In addition the instructor conducted interviews with thestudents on their perceptions of learning, collected by student performance and managerialreports and a Lessons Learned report. These instruments were used to obtain feedback on theteam project. Summative assessment focused on the grading of the final project including allsupporting materials of

Shortcomings of Internet Accessible Remote LaboratoryWhat are the issuesAs mentioned in the introduction section, researchers are pursuing this problem in an abruptmanner and are not yet coming up with a sustainable solution that can popularize the use ofremote laboratories. The major issues are: a) Integration of a number of disciplines into remote experimentation design; b) Modularity in designs; c) Readily available commercial products; d) Integration of learning management system; e) Maintenance and training; f) Administrative awareness and support; and g) Industry applications.a) Integration of a number of disciplines into

Considering these factors, together with the ease ofavailability of the two software packages, it was decided to select Revit and Vico as the BIMsolutions under study.The Body of Knowledge (BOK) for ConE EducationLike any other pedagogical techniques, BIM technology should be integrated into ConEcurricula to accomplish their BOK requirements.Hildreth and Gehrig21 identified the following four principal knowledge areas and their subsetsof knowledge and skills to define the ConE BOK: I. The knowledge and skills associated with cost estimating include: a. understanding the requirements of the work based on the drawings and specifications; b. estimating work quantities; c. evaluating and selecting appropriate

communicates with the Bluetooth USBmodule on Computer-A. The Bluetooth USB module driver software on Computer-A creates alocal virtual COM port. The TCP-COM software installed on Computer-A in the server modetakes the serial data from virtual COM port and retransmits it to Computer-B over the Ethernetnetwork by using the TCP/IP network protocol. Another instance of the TCP-COM softwareinstalled on Computer-B in the client mode, converts the data received using TCP/IP protocol toa local virtual COM port on Computer-B. The Hyperterminal communication program onComputer-B receives and transmits serial data through the local virtual COM port, therebyestablishing a two way communication channel with the PIC micro-controller as seen in thefollowing Figure 2

effort is needed, educating all users ofinformation technology from the young to the old, technically savvy to the inexperienced. While Page 22.1379.13this paper was written in the context of university students, it is our belief our user-focusedapproach can be adapted to a wider range of audiences including high school students and          community groups to name a few. As educators, we feel this course fulfills in part our duty toprepare students to be constructive contributors as virtual residents of cyber space.Bibliography1. B. Schneier, Secrets

only lectures, but also hands-on labs remotely. Traditionally,online courses were heavily weighted towards lecture and paper assessments; this was justifieddue to lab hardware cost, lab availability, and inability to objectively measure student labperformance. While cost remains a factor in any course with a lab component, implementing newtechnologies such as virtualization and cloud computing has mitigated and in some casescompletely removed ancillary lab issues. Different virtual lab approaches, centralized ordecentralized, have been tested or implemented in many educational institutions1,2,3,4. Previousstudies usually focused on a single system, for example, how VirtualBox was used in a particularcourse. In the Information and Computer
