, so effective instruction usesmultiple approaches. Lang connects internal and external learning opportunities [11], concluding“comprehension lies outside of the classroom,” meaning that students need time to process andimplement the traditional lecture material.Caudron [12] suggests that educators consider the following five areas when teaching students—with many of these strategies exemplified in the recent improvement of this class: (1) Make learning experiential by engaging students in cooperative learning experiences. (2) Give students control over their learning. (3) Highlight key points, as new learners are ‘surfers’ and ‘scanners’ rather than readers and viewers. (4) Motivate learning by engaging

Various community collegesare adding programs focused on this emerging area, mainly driven by industry requirements andtechnology changes [1]. As identified by the Employment and Training Administration within theUnited States Department of Labor, the main Mechatronics Technical Competencies are related tofour areas: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Systems and ProcessControl Engineering, and Computer Science.

important to identify the main modes that institutions andorganizations utilize for online learning before exploring specific technologies, the effectivenessof online learning, student and faculty perceptions, and online learning best practices. Theprimary online learning modes that have emerged are learning management systems (LMS),blended learning systems, flipped classrooms, fully online, and massive open online courses(MOOCs) [2, pp. 71-72]. When exploring these modes, a critical component to consider iswhether instructors and students meet during live, synchronous sessions, if sessions areasynchronous and utilize recorded sessions, or if there is a combination of synchronous andasynchronous [3, p. 406]. Each mode provides different levels of
