-presence boundaries were observed after the overseas trip. It wasobvious that living together for 9 days and the common experience had erased the boundariesand barriers of communications, at least at the personal level. A clear evidence of the newly-developed bonding was the high-level of interaction between students during class-breaks inwhich several in-class LAI students engaged in chats (both text-based and audio-visual) withtheir classmates from other universities. Another evidence was the high level of participation atthe end-of-semester celebration for the class that was held at LAI. All but one of the remotely-participating students attended. The absence was due to conflict with final exams.The main challenge brought about by the diverse

Unfortunately, due to the origins of theselearning experiences being textbooks, they often still look like text-heavy ebooks instead ofevidence-based, interactive learning experiences.This paper uses data from a computing education platform used in dozens of US universities andthousands of students to explore the relationship between how much time students spend readingcompared to the amount of text in the reading assignment. Specifically, we do multipleregression analyses to understand how independent variables including word count, assessments,and whether students engaged with code, affect dependent variables such as assignment gradeand how student’s time was spent.We find that

The code of conduct assignment requires students toanalyze organizational context and to develop micro-policy that promotes an ethical culture.Therefore, this assignment also assesses student outcome 2.1, for it demonstrates students’ability to impact group culture. Finally, student outcome 2.2 is assessed through pre- and post-survey using the ethical leadership questionnaire (Langlois, et al., 2014) as well as a reflectionpaper completed by students at the end of the semester.

These require not only technical (content)skills, but also fluency in engaging with a variety of information. Consequently, students who arecomfortable with engaging multiple representations of information are likely also more robustproblem solvers and critical thinkers.We are engaged in a multi-phase investigation to study whether exposure to diverserepresentations results in statistically significant differences in student problem solving, criticalthinking, or communication skills. To accomplish this, it is useful for educators to be able toidentify and track the representations used in their individual classes
