In particular, synchronous instruction andengagement with peers within a cohort have been shown to improve the educational experienceand lead to high persistence rates.It has previously been reported that instructional technology can be used to teach a full master’sdegree program in electrical and computer engineering to international graduate students in a syn-chronous fashion.

Itis through this lens that we look at how processes (e.g., engineering design process) and tools(e.g., non-digital craft materials, digital technologies) serve as boundary objects as in-/pre-service teacher participants delve into the learning potential of a hands-on maker environment.Cross-Disciplinary CollaborationSimilarly, cross-disciplinary collaboration is important when considering a novice’s need to learnfrom one another through peer-to-peer interactions and/or

TBL is similar to other flipped classroom approaches in the sense thatstudents have to prepare, e.g. by reading a chapter of a textbook, before coming to class to beprepared for in-class discussions and activities. The uniqueness of TBL is that in class studentswork in permanent teams throughout the quarter, activities follow a prescribed process–first areading assignment (or studying material from other sources), then an in-class quiz, and finallyproblems solved interactively in class that require students to apply facts and concepts from thepre-reading.The framework of assuring that students come prepared to
