Online Engineering Education Using Blackboard Collaborate David C. Paulus, PhD, PE and Daniel M. Settlage, PhD University of Arkansas - Fort Smith, Fort Smith, ARAbstractOn average, students in online learning conditions perform modestly better than those receivingface-to-face instruction. Blackboard Collaborate was used for live online lectures for mechanicalengineering students that enrolled in a face-to-face machine analysis course. At the end of theclass, the students were given a survey to assess their attitudes and opinions about usingCollaborate. All the students found it easy to use and access; however, the top students generallyreport a greater level of satisfaction with using

At the end ofthe workshop, a handwritten survey was given, and a follow up survey was distributed overemail six months later. In the exit survey, 100% of the ten teachers said that they felt theworkshop would help their teaching in the future, in courses such as physics, physical science,genetics, social studies in collaboration with the science teachers, math, geometry, probabilityand statistics. Of the ten teachers, 8 definitely planned to use workshop activities in theclassroom, one participant was not sure, and one did not. The most popular activities
