“… instruments forproductive inquiry as part of a process of learning through exploration of the world andnegotiation of meaning”,16 thus recognizing that learning is mediated by technology.Technology/Devices: Criteria and FrameworksSharples, in his work to develop a framework for use of mobile ICT for lifelong learning, firstidentified five roles for technology including roles as substitute teacher, computer-based assistantand mentor, computer-based tools and resources, communications aid, and computer-basedlearning environment. He further suggested that the various roles for technology to supportlifelong learning are not mutually exclusive. That is, technology could serve simultaneously astutor, guide, assistant, communications aid, and learning

. Tradi-tional barriers to collaboration include distance, time, and schedule. Tools that have been used topermit academic collaboration include conferences, meetings, working groups, and correspon-dence. While these work well there are previously unavailable opportunities presented by newtechnologies and methods. These new interactivity tools permit communication and collaborationin many forms.The use of computers and the Internet quickly eliminate the barrier of distance. In addition theysimplify various communication models such as, - one-to-many - meeting invitations, information distribution, etc. - one-to-one - specific business items. - many-to-many - group discussions. - asynchronous - disconnected - forums and discussion groups

of the three yeargrant as new groups of 20 cycled through the workshops, the Wiki briefs served as a powerfulresource for new faculty and as a useful platform for ongoing development and interaction. Thesite has recently been adopted for use with a Department of Defense grant to further promoteCBI among faculty at four additional institutions. The methods used to develop and promote thesite, the significant materials and templates developed, and the challenges faced and successesexperienced in widespread adoption of a new pedagogy are presented along with conclusions onthe usefulness of a Wiki for faculty development.IntroductionThere is great interest, investment, and involvement in the discovery of new teaching methodsand tools that will

To address the needs of the Page 13.1284.2remote engineering students, some universities have begun using web conferencing software1and the power of the internet to develop real-time interactive distance learning. Anecdotalevidence suggests that by utilizing such a tool to effectively deliver a classroom experiencewithout the typical commuting burden, more interested people would likely pursue thecompletion of their engineering degree.With regard to providing distance learning for undergraduate engineering, we looked at six otherinstitutions in our

Projects include building and testing devices such as an LED light, an electricmotor, a working speaker, a simple radio, a transistor amplifier, and a photovoltaic batterycharger. The projects were developed specifically for use in the two-year college environment.The projects use basic component parts that are easy to obtain. The target average cost is five toten dollars each. No special tools are required for construction and the projects can be conductedin virtually any room equipped with tables. The projects are robust and durable and provide anunmistakable indication of proper operation. The projects can be taught by a faculty memberfrom any engineering discipline. All necessary

suggests that normalizingstudent prerequisite skills through online resources could guide a course to consistency amongstdifferent instructors. According to some universities, classes who used WeBWorK havedemonstrated statistically significant improvement on exam performance when compared toclasses who did not use it [8, 3].WeBWorK’s effectiveness and appeal seems to be independent of student background: academicrank, gender, and race. One study shows that diverse students respond positively to WeBWorKand benefit from utilizing it as a primary learning tool [9]. WeBWorK has recently been adoptedby the computer science community through an NSF funded experiment across three continents.Students and instructors responded positively; one author noted

Page 22.451.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Developing a Materials Course Teaching Tool Kit to Promote Ease of Implementation of Innovative Classroom Instructional Materials and PracticeAbstractMany types of innovative teaching strategies and materials have been created in STEM (science,technology, engineering, and math) disciplines over time, but only a limited number have beenwidely adapted. Most classes in undergraduate engineering are still taught via lectures or the"transmission" mode of teaching, which has been shown to be the least effective method forstudent learning. This is due, in part, to the fact that there are major problems
