The GUI will allow a remote user to perform experiments using the local computer without any

topical knowledge, andpreparing them to apply that knowledge in increasingly complex situations. The design of theactive learning exercises was by far the majority of the workload in making the transition, andwas guided by several pedagogical principles: a. Use technology only if it helps student learning or helps the faculty teach better. While this may seem obvious to many, it is important to remember that technology is just the vehicle, not the payload. b. Frame exercises as places to generate teaching opportunities, not as examinations. Getting students to feel comfortable asking questions changes the game so that students are now “pulling” information, instead of the instructor “pushing” it. c. Create exercises that

Part 3 of each examination can be considered as the remaining 50-60%of each test and was completed in the same mode for both versions (A and B). Most of Part 3was completed on paper; however, some questions required the use of a computer. The resultsfrom Part 3 were not considered in this test mode study. The test breakdown is representedschematically in Figure 1, and represents the same structure of all three examinations used in thisstudy.Question phrasing and order on the same part (1 or 2) were identical, regardless of testing mode.The paper portions were created to be as aesthetically similar as
