colleagues teach sections of this course they sharematerials and ideas but each of them has to customize the course design to suit their ownapproach. She describes it as follows: There are like nine sections of that course. And there've been times when there have been four or five of us teaching the course in a particular quarter. And what will happen is we trade materials. So Jane will “Janeify” my thing, I will “Lisafy” my things, things will be “Charliefied”. And they end up being shared. And we've all been around enough that we're comfortable taking our own particular spins. One professor is very structured and has their class exercises—do A, B, C, D in this order.

Paper exams ask students to work in anenvironment that feels artificial—without the information infrastructure that they depend onin their other classwork, and that they expect to use on the job after they graduate. Thispaper compares a particular form of online exams, the “open-book open-Web” exam withexams taken on paper. The choice of format has a myriad of implications, most of whichare not apparent at a glance. This paper considers several categories of differences,including coverage of material, administering the exam, challenges of grading, how todiscourage cheating, and the tradeoff between difficulties associated with handwriting anddifficulties with coding the exam. It is based on the results of two

MySQL providing dynamic HTML capabilities.This has had many benefits to student learning, forcing students to become familiar with remoteaccess to hardware via command-line, file transfer, and other similar concepts that are commonto commercial web development.Since the virtualization system used allows good performance with over 200 lightly loadedvirtual servers on a single hardware server, we have allowed students to retain their virtualservers throughout their academic careers, and to use them to serve their own non-commercialweb pages. This has promoted additional independent and service learning opportunities forstudents.

engineering; they allow very fast updates, they are easy to access, they do not require thebulk of paper, they are easily searchable, and they allow multiple/alternate sources. So, this begsthe question, why are there so few electronic books in use in higher education? In part, this isbecause many of the commercial books are not available electronically. Although some publishersare exploring ways to make their collections available electronically these efforts are still in theirinfancy.However, a larger puzzle is in the step away from paper to purely electronic media. For example,consider the following problems. How do you write notes or slip a page into a fixed PDF file? Isthe document you are viewing on your machine or on the network? Who can

Educatorsneed to prepare their students for the parallel era.IntroductionA fundamental technique by which computations can be accelerated is parallel computation. Themain reason for executing program instructions in parallel is to complete a computation faster.However, majority of programs today are incapable of much improvement through parallelism,since they have written assuming that instructions would be executed sequentially1.
