The percentage of students responding to each level of difficulty did notchange significantly with changing learning environment from emergency remote (spring), topremeditated remote (summer), to HyFlex (fall).

Some comments suggested a deeperintegration of the material by the teacher, and an expectation that the teacher would actively usethe material in his or her classroom. These comments were grouped as Level 2 and Level 3Concern. Regardless of the apparent level of the comments, virtually all teachers reported adefinite increase in their level of gender equity awareness. When asked to rate their pre- andpost- SummerScape awareness level of issues of gender equity, 27 of 29 respondents rated theirpost-SummerScape awareness level as substantially higher than their pre

inherently dynamic aspect of ATMS concerns reducing the severity of non-recurringcongestion caused by incidents which may affect the capacity of individual transportation links. For ATMS and ATIS applications to succeed, we must also study the interaction between the travelerand the transportation system. In order to choose from among alternative ATIS and ATMS policies, we mustbe able to understand and evaluate their effects. This depends fundamentally on an understanding of howindividual travelers choose among their own travel options, with regard to both mode choice (e.g., train vs.car) and route choice (e.g., freeway vs. arterial), and on knowledge of how people will react to new forms ofinformation provision

However, these employees simply did not have enoughtime to work with the 100 teams of students and EDC faculty ended up acting as clientsfor most of these projects.

for sure, but it's not a real abrupt steer; it's a subtle steer. 1Many faculty who are new to A/CL have concerns about how much time to give students forteam activities. Veronica Burrows suggested that, You need to put very tight time constraints on them. Most cooperative learning exercises are successful, despite the fact that the students will almost never complete them—to the students’ satisfaction—in the time allotted. Giving them a tight time schedule forces them to stay on topic; it forces someone to play the role—either that you designate them in the role or they choose that role—of timekeeper and resource manager. When you don’t have that time pressure, they seem not to perform so well. 1Jim

issues here. Will TV courses induce university administra-tions to reduce faculty numbers? With the reduction of faculty and elimination of courses across the uni-versities such an endeavour would allow faculty to handle more courses. Moreover this could counter thealready-experienced likelihood of dis-accreditation in some schools, particularly Architecture. TV coursescould also allow schools to ‘help’ each other to weather such problems; students could take such courses atother institutions and simply go through a credit transfer. Maybe TV courses are not just a new-fangledtechnological option; perhaps they are an essential ingredient to our survival !About the authorsJUAN J.
