The coursewould have benefited from an intern with perhaps less technical expertise in the subject matter,but more experience and training in team efforts and educational theory, and better able tocontribute to course improvements from the very beginning. An intern from the Penn StateCollege of Education, given the emphases planned for the intern’s efforts, would perhaps havebeen more appropriate than the engineering technology student who served as intern.

But how do we get students from here to there? What are the intermediate stages that help students develop the skills and habits of master learners in our disciplines?” 1 To me, “invisible learning” represents the development of the thought processes behindthe solution to a problem. What am I thinking as I first look at a problem? What do I do first andwhy? I imagine a single student sharing a piece of paper with me as I sketch and talk.
