Engage, Collaborate, and Persist with Classroom Podcast CreationAbstract Research shows that college students generally rate the learning environment andperceived outcomes of courses delivered in person higher than those of an equivalent versiondelivered online. Without a deliberate pedagogical transformation of the material for remotedelivery, online courses are often less engaging and effective due to a lack of social interactionand a more passive learning environment. Despite these barriers, the number of students takingonline classes is increasing due to the flexibility, affordability, accessibility, and personalizationthat online learning offers. In light of these factors, an ongoing challenge for educators is

For the 2006 course sequence, recruitment began in earnest during the Fall portion of the2005 course sequence. The recruitment consisted of the same three efforts as in Fall 2004. In the2005 undergraduate research symposium, more than 40 undergraduates (including all 15 fromthe Fall segment of the research course option) presented posters, and more than 150 otherundergraduates attended. The increase in attendance was due to following the lessons of the pilotsymposium in 2004. For the 2005 symposium, three

This overview of the study approach is a caveat to the reader whomay be expecting an evaluation of program quality.

The course is challenging for instructors andextremely difficult for students. Pedagogy in electromagnetism has been an active subject in the researchliterature. We can find many useful ideas about what and how to teach.Instead of the what and the how, our focus is on the internal mechanism oflearning. Two basic questions come under the focus: a) What happens toa mind when it is getting to know a concept? and b) In what way can

The systemalso allows students to obtain evaluation for intermediate steps or to test hypotheses. As studentsgain confidence in the system, they also transition from a guess / check pattern to a structuredsearch of intermediate steps. Creating systems which are capable of interpreting studentresponses in the same way that an instructor does allows students to explore problems moredeeply instead of simply following “recipes”.IntroductionOver the past decade, there
