Feedback should be timely to reduce exposure to content misperceptionsand reinforcement of correct understandings,2,3 but the time required to provide feedback tostudents is dependent on faculty time and the availability of grading support. The pressures onfaculty time are discussed at length at conferences and meetings, and institutional budgets dictatewhether grading support is available. In practice, this means that feedback is provided moreslowly than desired, but team testing provides immediate feedback by exposing students to theirpeers’ understanding of the material and testing their ability to contribute

misconceptions. These factors include (1) the unfamiliarityof the relevant education literature to many engineering educators, (2) the lack of concept inventories withgood estimates of internal consistency and validity that address core engineering areas and (3) the lack oftested educational materials in engineering similar to those that have been developed and tested inphysics. However, significant progress is happening related to each of these issues. There is awidespread and rapidly growing awareness of the benefits of active-engagement methods in engineeringeducation (Prince, 2004) and significant progress has been made in developing concept inventories forcore engineering topics (Evans, 2003; Reed-Rhoads and Imbrie, 2007; Streveler et al., 2008

This permitsgreater functionality than legacy wireless application protocol browsers but the content oflearning itself is an extension of the earlier media.A newer variant of m-learning is emerging. Whereas m-learning is an asynchronous transactioninitiated by the recipient or “pulled” by the learner, the newer variant may be called “m-outreach.” As its label suggests, m-outreach has a “push” characteristic to it thus enabling themaximization of skill and knowledge dissemination because it can reach consenting learnersautomatically (i.e. push out educational materials) as a multicast (one sender, multiple recipients
