Forstudents, they rarely get a chance to interact with faculty in a more personal and collegialsetting. The observation program treats students as junior colleagues and values their input.From the pre-observation meeting through the post-observation discussion, the co-observersare provided an opportunity to help others, as well as learn from colleagues’ different teachingapproaches.It is encouraging to see the co-observers were learning from the observation process itself andtruly enjoyed, and learned from, meeting and discussing teaching issues with the CollinsScholars.

Department of Education Office of Educational Technology, the priorities of k-12 schools are focused on basics: improved Internet connectivity, student access to betterlearning devices, development of high-quality digital learning content, and creation ofResponsible Use Policies (RUPs) [5]. Ninety-nine percent (99%) of United States schools havefiber connectivity; however, only percent (38%) of all school districts meet the FCC’s 1 Mbpsper student standard for broadband connectivity [6]. Reliable access to electricity, computers,and a high-speed Internet connection are essential prerequisites for an operational LMS-CRMcapability; however, these are not available in many schools, especially in antiquated schoolbuildings [7], [8].

increasingly widespread in rating K-12 schools. This approach uses statistical tools to rate schools by their outcomes while controlling for inputs. This paper examines the US News approach through the lens of value-added analysis.Introduction College ratings based on models utilizing data have become increasingly popular in thepast twenty years. The most financially successful are those published by U.S. News and WorldReport in its annual fall college guide.1 These and similar ratings have enjoyed widespreadsuccess with parents and students, but have also received considerable criticism. During the same period, there has been a growth of “value-added” models to evaluate thesuccess of pre-college schools. While these
survey items have been validated andproven reliable for science and math identity through the SaGE study.25 Further, missing dataresponses were dealt with by deleting entire responses for missing pre-‐ or post-‐ results.Future work in this area of study should focus on capturing a larger, more representativepopulation of undergraduate researchers. A longitudinal study would be insightful to follow upthis work in order to see how the identities of science, math, engineering, and research changeand morph over time with each RP’s experiences and beyond, as he/she becomes part of theSTEM community. Future work comparing research experiences of URMs to those of non-URMstudents would add insight regarding the relationship between ethnicity

But, if those disciplinary procedures ultimately prove ineffective, or if the universitythreatens but fails to follow through on stepped-up disciplinary action for successive incidents ofmisconduct

We had a coder read through all the datatwice to ensure that all queries were accurately labeled.The goal of this data is to describe the AI search strategies students use during self-regulatedlearning. Therefore, we performed comprehensive descriptive statistics on the label data and didnot use any inferential statistics, as we were not making any comparisons between groups.Assessment Analysis: For Stage 1, we employed a Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) frame-work [47, 48] to analyze the impact of the AI’s usage on checkpoint accuracy. HLM simultaneouslyestimates between-group differences and within-group changes over time by clustering variancesat multiple grouping levels. This method
canprovide a sense of community and provide help for students beyond just the instructor. However,peer tutors may not always be fully utilized. Many peer tutors have office hours where studentscan informally drop by and get help, or students are asked to formally join a peer tutoringprogram [1]. These programs are voluntary and may be missing the students who need it themost.ICPT may improve access to peer tutors for all students. ICPT involves peer tutors attendingclass sessions where students solve in-class assignments. Because it is during class, all studentsinteract with the peer tutors. ICPT has been used in statics and mechanics of materials [8]-[10],thermodynamics [11], and introductory engineering courses [12], [13] but has been limited

Most students also had never experienced auniversity level in-person studio design course, and they were expected to engage in anonline version of this course. Additionally, the remote nature of the event meant that manystudents were living in various time zones. Due to these concerns, Design Days wasrequired to: ● Introduce the students to remote learning and the online tools to be used for the upcoming semester; ● Connect students with their cohort, faculty, graduate students, and second-year architectural engineering students to encourage
). Most of the strain will be on research universities who educate only 19% ofcollege students but account for 42% of the B.S. and 52% of the M.S. degrees in S&E. A keychallenge to undergraduate education will be producing enough qualified K-12 math and scienceteachers to meet the increase in not only student population but in retirement of experiencedteachers. This is a topic that UNM and DP is much concerned about.

visual and animation tools. These tools will be accessed through The University ofTexas at Arlington (UTA)’s Web site for use in classrooms globally. The three major steps inachieving this research goal were: (1) accepting data from the user; (2) running a pre-definedexecutable on the input data, which produces “Web-friendly” output file(s); and (3) redirectingthe browser to the output file. This study was successfully completed by using ActiveX controlsthat accept data from the user, transfer and run the FORTRAN executable files, redirect thebrowser to the result files and perform checks before displaying resulting diagrams or tables. Theuniqueness of these tools is that the executables are transferred to the client machine and run onit

Therefore, our PLE iscomposed of the different tools we use in our daily life to learn, including formal and informallearning environments from our individual experiences4. Through the PLEs we can recognize theprocesses of learning, reflection, and identity that individuals develop in a context, mediated ornot by technology. However, nowadays technology is a necessary tool widely used byindividuals who are part of a formal learning community. Thus, a PLE usually involves using acombination of electronic devices, applications, and

Where the literature suggests that starting a weedingproject is close to last on a librarian’s list, events beyond a librarian’s control can force aweeding action. Space reallocations, time constraints, or e-provider policies imposes risks thatthreaten the attempt to maintain a viable collection. Sometimes the choice is voluntary; but if notexplicitly defined as part of a formal collection policy, the rationale used can vary
wall on the hook was not simply a single downward force. Rather, I explained, a simple model would be to assume that the wall contacted the hook at two places, on adjacent faces, without friction, rendering the hook a 3-force body, obliquely oriented (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Sketches of hook lifting wall, and suggested Free Body Diagrams. Beyond these points, we discussed that the static analysis was only a prerequisite to their project. The students readily agreed they needed to analyze the stresses, and suggested that they could apply ideas from Strength of Materials, such as the theories for axial bars and beams. I commended them for appealing to this line of reasoning, but I cautioned that these approaches

'better' than their peers, and hence Khan Academyserves a supplemental purpose to learning as well. Khan Academy videos are notrecommended for people experienced with the subject at hand, as Khan gives thebasics only. However, if students wish to refresh their skills, Khan Academy is agreat place to go to, due to its exercises and videos. Khan Academy is a greatplace to learn, as Khan rewards you for learning more. A small improvementwould be the 'review' system- after a student has completed a set of exercises,after a while, Khan Academy marks the exercise as needing review. Students haveto go through the entire set of exercises again to get rid of the review marker.Another MOOC which is rapidly gaining traction in their course offerings

?The following is a list of online teaching methods analyzed here: • Asynchronous Online Teaching: None of the course activities (including lectures, office hours and student presentations) are delivered live in real time. Lectures are posted either as Lecture notes, presentation slides or pre-recorded presentations with audio and/or video. Interactions take place only online through e-mails, and discussion groups. • Synchronous Online Teaching: Lectures/presentations are delivered live in real time on the web. Online live lectures are scheduled every week similar to a traditional on-campus class. The lecture is interactive where students can ask questions in real time. The instructor and the
