The interactive system has found favor withinstructors, teaching assistants and students. Because each step taken by the student in theproblem solution is recorded by the accompanying learning management system, students andinstructors can easily review modules to determine where the student went wrong. This approachalso frees Teaching Assistants from the necessity of grading homework, most of which areworked correctly, and allows them to spend time with the students who most need their help.Because of the many options available in the authoring tool, novice developers often

The student grew in their understanding of cybersecurity, digital hardwareengineering, research methods, and more. As such, the project was a success.

They are usually following a qualification upgrade path so their experience and motivation are powerful inputs. • The concentrated whole-day class sessions make it easy to feature embedded seminars from industry specialists. They too receive all the preparation materials so everyone has the same baseline.One of the principal outcomes from this process is that we quantify the ways in which the“essential personal skills toolkit” is changing.
