Educational Internet resourceswill change this approach by allowing students some degree of autonomy in choosing their pathof learning via computers. The Internet alone cannot produce “good” learning, however “good”learning can occur through successful implementation of the Internet11.The need for professional development opportunities related to the emergence of newtechnologies is well documented12 - 17. Furthermore, it is imperative that technology be groundedusing a "scholarly" approach to teaching18. Within this "scholarly" approach is the need tounderstand the different ways people learn as well as differences in their learning styles19 - 25.The over-riding goal of the “Constructing

The roboticmanufacturing system supports various applications of digital manufacturing by integrating bothtraditional subtractive manufacturing approaches and emerging additive manufacturing ones(e.g., 3D printing) in a novel way. Such a multi‐ functional robotic manufacturing system makesit a perfect platform for students not only to creatively learn and apply all kinds of existingmanufacturing technologies, but also to actively explore new and better solutions formanufacturing problems in their team‐ based interdisciplinary undergraduate research.

The goal is for students to muse a bit and formulate some thoughts in advance, and beready to add something meaningful to the class conversation. The intent is to identify thesetopics and hand them out during the preceding lecture (with the appropriate reference material),so that students can give some prior thought to them. Students are also free to suggest topics theywould like to collectively probe.Example Discussion Thread Topic:“It has been recently argued that the use of digital technology, Information Age gadgets, andother pieces of transistor-enabled toys, are physically re-wiring the brains of “digital natives” –ummm, you guys.

In this method, cohorts of students are clearly defined, where groups of studentsare identified by the campus or classroom where they synchronously experience the course [4],[5].Although this teaching method brings several advantages to the multi-campus system, such asleveraging the special expertise of faculty members in different campuses and bridging the culturalboundaries [6], it poses challenges [7], specifically in its implementation. Ensuring equity andfairness in teaching between cohorts and establishing rapport between the instructor and the remotecohort are examples of these challenges [2].
