an educational delivery system is to help the instructor arrange information andthe environment that best facilitates learning (Heinich, Molenda, Russell, & Smaldino, 1999)2.In some instances, it is most appropriate to have the instructor deliver the entire instruction;while in other situations, a variety of instructional media may be employed. Instructional mediaare used in education to capture the students’ attention, reinforce material, accommodatedifferent learning styles, and provide opportunities for evaluation (Dick & Carey, 1996) 1. Thereis a wide variety of media that may be used in education such as non-projected media, projectedvisuals, audio, and computer networks/software (Heinich et al. 1999) 2. To make the correctmedia

This work-in-progress aims to develop toolsthat maximize student impact while meeting these constraints. We seek feedback on the twointerventions described below.Intervention #1: student-generated screencasts.Faculty frequently assign students to watch supplemental or remedial videos [4]. The creation ofstudent-generated screencasts is less common, but previous work has found them effective[5]–[7]. The benefits of creating screencasts are intuitive.

Communication Lab completeda “formal quantitative study” of its writing services and Volpatti et al. shared results at ASEE2020 [5]. We acknowledge the importance of such thorough tests and plan to conduct similarstudies of our own in the future. As a younger communication lab with limited resources, wehave developed a simpler set of analytical tools to assess our lab. We combined data from studentregistrations and appointment forms, responses from student surveys, one-on-one interviews withstudents, and a focus group of our employees. We believe this approach allows us to go beyond asimple survey to understand the experiences of both our student clients and our consultants.III.

always easy to learn many new names at once, though a number of faculty have developed “tricks of the trade” to help them learn the names of students even in very large classes. But by demonstrating the effort to learn even a few names and how to pronounce them correctly can help students to feel more like individuals and respected. Many faculty members can now print a roster with pictures for use in class. If your campus does not have this tool, a TA might be able to help to construct something similar. • Try to use a student’s name during a lecture. For example, instead of saying “Let’s say we wanted to build a bridge” you could say, “Let’s say Jennifer wanted to build a bridge.” When students feel the

A surveyconducted in 2005 of electromagnetics curricula around the world directly identified thatstudents feel that electromagnetics is very challenging and demanding [4]. Due to the difficulty,student motivation is low which does not encourage passion for the course topic [5].The literature shows that students need help in visualizing the abstract concepts embedded inelectromagnetics and have suggested transformations involving computer software packages andnumerical simulation [2],[3],[5].
