video technology has become a widely used medium for education. A prominentimplementation of this technology, interactive distance learning, involves groups of students atlocal and remote sites connected by audio and video teleconferencing. This approach has madethe task of delivering vital undergraduate and graduate engineering courses to distributedaudiences much easier.As this approach has permeated more curricula, distance education instructors have increasinglyassigned projects that require distance learners to work together as an element of the final coursegrade. This trend presents an interesting opportunity for researchers to understand the nature ofinteractions among course participants involved in project teams.This paper presents the

At the end of eachterm, I add copies of my syllabi, grade book, and evaluations to the raw data folder. It is advisedthat candidates download a local copy of any grade books stored in learning managementsystems (e.g. Blackboard, Canvas), as the data may become unavailable without warning. I washappy that I followed this advice since students on my campus are removed from Blackboardwhen they graduate and consequently their rows in the grade book disappears.

It is obvious which formulas we need to use but locating the [word missing?] takes too much time and makes you need to re-find your place. At the very least put a page or appendix number at the end of each question. On p.51 at the bottom, if you could give a quick page number reference on where to find shear modulus, that would be great! It doesn't have to be just this chapter either. A reminder that rG can be found in Appendix C with the properties of areas would be great.Providing specific page numbers is probably counterproductive; the textbook is not particularlylong, and I want students to learn how to use the appendices and

For both thewithin-subject and between-subject data, there is an increase in the variety of solution and thenumber of high quality solutions. In contrast to the prior study, using a slightly different qualitymetric, we observe a decrease in average quality likely due to the participants searching a largerportion of the solution space. Also in contrast to the prior study, we observe no change inaverage novelty and an increase in the number of highly novelty solution found by seniors.
