The emphasis in this case study is the supportprovided to the students and the continuous improvement cycle used by instructors to improvethe educational experience. Challenges facing the students include both problems with thetechnical aspects of the virtual environment (e.g. corrupted virtual machine files, virtualenvironment slowdown due to heavy loads, or excess resource consumption by misconfiguredvirtual machines), and questions about the academic material being taught (e.g. why an errormessage is being given after a specific instruction). Several methods are used to provide supportto the students including discussion boards, online video conferencing, announcements andinstructions provided via the

To do this successfully, engineers must have aknowledge of nature that goes beyond mere theory.” [1] Various forms of laboratory learningexperience are utilized in engineering curricula to assist students to gain this knowledge. Amongthese laboratory approaches, simulation based on computer software [2, 3] and hands-onexperiments

IntroductionSelf-assessment is a powerful mechanism for enhancing learning. It encourages studentsto reflect on how their own work meets the goals set for learning concepts and skills. Itpromotes metacognition about what is being learned, and effective practices for learning.It encourages students to think about how a particular assignment or course fits into thecontext of their education.

document often is linear.We have found that short, upgraded writing assignments (e.g. minute papers) are anexcellent way for students to practice writing without the fear of harming their grade (1).In-class writing exercises are also a mechanism for students to synthesize informationthey have just learned. For example, in BMEG 210, class is sometimes concluded byasking students to write about a real-world problem that can be solved using coursematerial. In BMEG 210 and 350, some labs are conducted as demonstrations with areflective writing assignment to be completed in class. Alternatively, a short writtenassignment (e.g. individual or group brainstorming session) at the beginning of class canbe used to increase student engagement in the material

The instructional unitshave as their starting point a “grand challenge” that not only assists the students using thematerials to see a real world application of the science knowledge they will be learning but alsoserves as a focus for student understanding. For example, the grand challenge for the OpticsMosaic centers on the need for the student to select and justify a remedy to their mother's need toget rid of her glasses. Students study the fundamentals of optics within the context of solving thisgrand challenge.Research has shown that young women learn science better when certain characteristics of theclassroom and curriculum are met.

Focusing on college classrooms, the study characterized student sharing behaviors (looking atpersonal vs. academic material) and analyzed the current RoboBooks software and test website as platforms forsharing and collaboration. Sneeringer found that students needed external factors—for example, explicitrequirements embedded within the activity—to encourage sharing behavior when it came to academic material.
