Returners bring a different perspective to their graduate work as well as their post- graduate endeavors than their direct-pathway peers. They have experiences in a variety of contexts, which often includes previous work in academia, industry, military, or government in addition to their graduate work, which may influence their research and research outcomes18.

The projectdemonstrated that students from three institutions in three time zones could effectivelycollaborate on the design of an aircraft wing assembly. The 2012 – 2013 project successfullyimplemented a “multi-site, cloud-based capstone design project” within a cross-cultural, peer-to-peer design-build-test environment [11].

developing feedback literacy. The framework also draws from Nicol and Macfarlane-Dick's [20] principles of good feedback practice, emphasizing the role of peer and self-assessment in feedback processes. In the context of Scrum, this dimension reflects the framework's collaborative nature, where feedback sources are not limited to the traditional instructor-student dynamic but include peers and self-reflection [22]. 2. Feedback Timing: Timeliness in feedback is highlighted by Hattie and Timperley's [19] model of effective feedback, which emphasizes the importance of immediate feedback in learning processes. This aspect is mirrored in the Scrum methodology, where regular sprint reviews and retrospectives [23] provide

solid argument for the need to help young adults acquire theknowledge they need to be safe online.Another explanation for young adults’ risky online behaviors is the way they think aboutthe Internet and privacy in general. Many young people think of the Internet as their ownpersonal space where they interact with their peers, and fail to recognize that theinformation meant for peer groups, as well as conversations among peers, are available tomany other, unintended audiences6. Similarly, a large study of 7,000 American collegestudents found that passwords, social security and credit card numbers were included inthe respondents’ notion of online privacy, but postings on social networking sites such asFacebook were not a matter of concern7

During the lecture period, the instructor delivers content inthe form of lecture slides and writing on a whiteboard. This poses significant challenges for theinstructor, as the learning outcomes have to be delivered in different modalities, but with the samequality.

development. Here, it is important to remember that theentrepreneurial mindset focuses on one’s mental attitude and belief system, which is acquired andnurtured over time with continued practice, reflection and feedback. As explained by Carol S.Dweck, a change in mindset requires effort, practice, and challenging tasks [7]. Regardless ofwhether it is the entrepreneurial mindset or the growth mindset, practice and more practice canchange one’s beliefs and attitudes, which in return can instill and reinforce the entrepreneurialmindset. Common methods for integrating practice, reflection, and feedback into the curriculumcan be through semester-long scaffold projects, journaling, peer feedback, and formativeassessments.#4: Curriculum Design for Best
