, interactive exercises, and images.In this paper, we consider two types of interactive material: animations and practicequestions. An animation illustrates a concept with moving objects. Typically, ananimation replaces the pictures in a textbook with multiple moving substeps. Animationscan convey many concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM). However, animation creation is time intensive, typically 1-2 hours each. Weinvestigate whether students can make good-quality animations.A practice question provides quick feedback to a student on whether the studentunderstands a concept, and may also teach new concepts. Students have shown apreference to practice questions over reading[8].First, we investigate whether students can

Instruction to Individual Student Learning StylesAbstract This paper describes the approach and offers preliminary results for our guided on-demandadaptive learning (GOAL) project. GOAL provides asynchronous web-based instruction thatdetects preferred learning styles for each student and adapts the instruction to match the detectedpreference. It also provides a platform for research about learning and for evaluating instruction.Introduction Undergraduate engineering education must change to accommodate the acceleratingdependence of society upon engineering and to harness the evolving strengths of our students. Tobe technologically literate, a student today needs greater breadth and depth of technicalknowledge than

-operation and Development(OECD), the U.S. is ranked 25th in math performance and 21st in science performance comparedto other countries, with Finland, South Korea, and the Netherlands in the top 3. A country onceknown for being at the vanguard of technology and industry, such as during the World War IIera or in the space race, is now being beaten. The implications are tremendous: a weak educationduring the early stages of development will only lead to a weaker professional labor force later.In fact, a study by the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology states that“economic forecasts point to a need for producing, over the next decade, approximately 1million more college graduates in STEM fields than expected under current
