However, eLearningenvironments can be created that include some of the capabilities of expert teachers and allowstudents to work independently with a virtual teacher looking over their shoulder. Feedback to astudent in an educational software program can have significant and sometimes unintendedconsequences that impact learning effectiveness and persistence. The proposed mini-hintspresented here are an attempt to improve the learning environment in the Spatial Vis trainingapp, and have been developed using guidance from pedagogical theory. This is a Work inProgress, and the actual effectiveness of the mini-hints will have to be assessed througheducational trials.References[1] S. Sorby, “Educational research in developing 3-D

strikingdifference was in the course belonging score on the survey at the end of the semester: 2017average 6.9 (among n=16; small n but nearly 100% rated at highest level of 7) versus 2018average 5.9 (n=64) and 2019 average 6.1 (n=57). The smaller class with shared lecture,recitations, and labs and a high concentration of diverse students appeared to foster communitysignificantly more than the larger 2018 and 2019 courses. But this group also had a much higherpercentage in the Goldshirt cohort which had participated in a summer bridge program togetherprior to the semester. In addition, the larger non-respondent rate in 2017 may be a confoundingfactor; students who felt a stronger connection to the course perhaps opted to take the survey andconsented to

Moreand more in higher educatioq we are being exposed to the notions of active and co-operative learning models,and the focus is tending toward small group interaction and group learning. A class structure with large sectionscertainly does not facilitate this mode of instruction.+ There was a relatively even distribution of the types of students in engineering economy classes. This was a bitsurprising to me because I had developed a belief that EE’s, ME’s, ChemE’s and CE’S were, in these days of“squeezed” credit hours, tending to de-emphasize engineering economy in their curricula (or eliminate it) in lieuof other discipline
