and defined cyberlearning by focusing onthe learner’s experience. He said it is “any form of learning mediated by technology in a way that changesthe learner’s access to and interaction with information” (p. 2). It is apparent that cyberlearning can be defined in many ways, and each definition emphasizessomething different. Using elements of the statements just provided, the working definition ofcyberlearning used for the purposes of this study is: teaching and learning that is mediated by the use oftechnology and networks.Forms of Cyberlearning Games and virtual environments are among the most easily recognizable forms of cyberlearning,but there are others. Table 1 lists the forms of cyberlearning most commonly mentioned in

.” 5Subject gateways were an obvious solution to this information explosion. The term “subjectgateway” has been defined as “ a Web-based mechanism for accessing a collection of highquality, evaluated resources identified to support research in a particular subject discipline.” 6Using standard metadata schemas to describe Internet resources and the services of subject orinformation specialists to evaluate information provided a new form of quality control. Expertsadded value to Internet resources by discovering them, describing them and making themsearchable and browseable.While the basic premise for the development of subject gateways remains relevant today, themodel on which they operate is changing.

Hiswork has led to the design of effective teacher questions as the guidance to collecting meaningfuland directed feedback from students. Similar to Mazur’s Peer Instruction, Dufresne et al.developed a technology mediated personal response system called Classtalk [9]. This systemfacilitated presentation of discussion questions, collected students’ responses and displayed theseresponses in large-scale lectures. They reported that students were engaged in active learning,and the overall classroom communication was greatly enhanced [9]. Since then many otherversions of technologies have emerge to facilitate these kinds of

By connecting their in-class knowledge with the work of theprofessionals, students could then identify emerging trends in the field and make more informedcareer choices. This assignment allowed many to explore new possibilities, gain confidence intheir career choices, and better understand the skills they need to build to succeed in the field ofbiomechanical engineering.

While we acknowledged that our targetparticipant population of undergraduate engineering students lack the opportunity to developintuitive engineering expertise, we chose the initial framework because it was developed basedon an empirical study that emerged specifically from undergraduate students makingsociotechnical decisions, which like design problems, lack a single correct answer.
