Since the process of technical ​innovation​ occursin increasingly complex social exchanges, engineers are frequently confronted with social andethical dilemmas in their professional lives.

Increases in successful teamwork andimprovement in students’ communications skills (via the written memos) have also beenobserved. When reviewing the “reflection” data, we have also observed an increase in thepercentage of students that recognized and addressed the ethical issues as new E-MEAs wereintroduced to the same group of students (see [20] in these proceedings).ConclusionsBecause of the success with using E-MEAs in improving these outcomes, the instructors forthese courses continued to

However, unlike CIs, we do notonly identify the misconceptions, but we also educate students based on their misconceptionsthrough visual experiments performed on LC-DLMs. In addition, we categorized the questionsaccording to Bloom’s taxonomy so that the impact of LC-DLMs can be assessed at both low andhigh cognitive learning levels. Thus, this provides the level at which misconceptions are presentand serve to guide corrective measures to eliminate these misconceptions. Besides that

The feedback based on student input in the games allows the students to learnand apply new concepts simultaneously. The impact of the games and the student involvementin the game design process have been positive as evidenced by performance on exams andpositive feedback on surveys.

This not only helps increase engagement and learning (Mora et al., 2020), butalso better prepares them for the engineering profession. To complement the students’ peers’feedback, but to also ensure ample mentoring was still being offered (Vik, 2001) the instructorsheld one-on-one homework chats.

However, MOOC virtual environments presents unique challenges for bothinstructors and learners. One of these challenges is the lack of face-to-face interaction, whichaffects how learners engage with one another and with the instruction team. From aconstructivist perspective, this is problematic because social interaction and communication arevital to meaningful learning [1]. Communication is also necessary for instructors to answerquestions, clarify concepts, and guide learners through their knowledge construction.In order to facilitate social interaction and communication, MOOCs often use discussion forumswhere learners can

Epistemic games are founded on epistemic frame theory (Shaffer, 2004). This theory posits thatthe formation of “communities of practice” - groups of practitioners with similar problem-solvingstyles - is essential for learning to solve the most challenging problems in a discipline (Chesler et al.,2013, Shaffer, 2004).
