Whilegauging confidence with resources is not a definitive sign of effective instruction, we feltconfidence in finding and using resources relates to comfort level in using the literature. Beyondnon-identifiable demographic data, the post-survey included a Likert scale question on findingresources, identical to the pre-survey question.Over the two and a half year timespan of research, we utilized two versions of the pre- and post-survey.

that should be followedwhen dealing with an IoT environment. The process includes the following phases [15]: 1. Initialization: In this phase, preparatory steps are taken before ever interacting with any device at the incident scene. During this phase, investigators should: (a) Understand how the IoT ecosystem works. (b) Identify potential data sources: Data can be stored at various locations within an IoT environment such as on IoT devices themselves in the form of internal memory or SD Cards, smartphones, or even in the cloud. Identifying where data is stored would allow investigators to determine what devices to acquire, what forensic tools would be needed, as well as what legal

from the university’s Institutional Board Review (IRB) was obtained for the procedures to be followed in the experiment. An online and classroom section of each subject was created. Students were enrolled in these sections based on their preference and course schedule for the semester ensuring approximately the same number of students in each of the two learning environments for each of the two courses. A brief survey was conducted in the two Thermodynamics sections to gain some insight into why students enrolled in the online or onsite section. Onsite students enrolled in the classroom section due to two main reasons: (a) many believed they would learn better in a traditional classroom environment (b) many were
