We are able to look at therelationship between SDLRS score and class year. Also, because many students took themodules more than once, we are able to look at a relationship between number of exposures andSDLRS score.ResultsSDLRS Total Score Figure 3(a) shows how average SDLRS score changes with age or classyear.

In order to communicate thisconcept we have decided to allow students tocontrollably “zoom in” on objects they are familiarwith, such as a compact disc or human hair. As thescale decreases, they will become aware of the detailsthey can feel and, for the sighted students, see in thetopology, while appreciating the fact that it is the sameobject.For the actual implementation of the haptic feedback onthe Novint Falcon, both the macro- and nanosurfacetopologies are simulated using an analog of an AFM – a Figure 7.

for this course includes implementing Bloom’s Taxonomy to design test questionsthat cover a wider range of cognitive levels. Currently, most questions are at the “application”level. A wider range of questions will allow for more robust analysis of student learning.Additionally, a concept inventory has been implemented as an additional measure of studentlearning. The development of a measure for team performance, independent of examperformance would allow the authors to more closely examine the effect of being on a high-performing team on student learning. Finally, the authors are investigating the effect of TBLextended to individual performance in downstream courses.ReferencesAnderson, L. W., Krathwohl, D. R., & Bloom, B. S. (2001). A
