us to explore new ideas in a way that traditional learning may not afford. Sincecyberlearning has such great potential, the study explores ways in which it might be used to promoteexcellence in undergraduate STEM education, and to provide the Division of Undergraduate Education(DUE) Program Officers at the National Science Foundation (NSF) with recommendations on possibledirections they could take. Though originally targeted to Program Officers, STEM educators andresearchers searching for new ways to use cyberlearning to improve STEM education will also benefitfrom these findings.

. Engineeringactivities require the use of graphical representations as well. New systems, like Dyknow,SiliconChalk and Classroom presenter, provide students with a mechanism to drawrepresentations with computer tools, and then share them with an instructor. These are sent toinstructors who can then view the submission and share students’ product with the class. We areworking on a study to use the Classroom Presenter system as a method for investigating thepotential of these systems for engineering education learning environments.ConclusionIn our research we treat formative assessment as a powerful engine for teaching and learning, notas “a more frequent, finer-grained test” [3]. In addition, as engineering education researchers, weare interested in graphical
correct answer to the problems.Evaluating successful and unsuccessful problem solving strategies, as well as errors andmisconceptions, enables researchers to identify areas of instructional need that can inform thefuture development of instructional interventions aimed at improving problem solving success.Understanding how students with different academic backgrounds develop problem solvingskills in first year engineering programs is of critical importance, in view of the one-waymigration pattern from engineering majors [1, 2]. Educators must design instruction that guidesstudents through the problem while not revealing the solution, so they may learn this problemsolving process. The varied backgrounds of these students make this task difficult
