Learning Effectiveness in Online vs. Traditional Courses Mukasa E. Ssemakula Division of Engineering Technology, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48202.AbstractThe way instruction is being delivered to students is undergoing an unprecedentedtransformation as a result of various social, economic and technological factors. Inparticular, online and other forms of long distance education are becoming ubiquitous.An important question that arises for instructors is how well the students learn the coursematerial when using these non-traditional modes of instruction.

Peer Review for Online Learning Objects via MERLOT Valerie L. Young Ohio UniversityAbstractWith the rapid advances in computer technology and software over the past 10 years, it hasbecome increasingly attractive from a pedagogical viewpoint to develop computer-basedsimulations and tutorials to allow our students to explore and learn chemical engineeringprinciples. However, development of such “learning objects” can be given short shrift whenprofessional contributions are evaluated, partly because they typically have little impact outsidethe class for which they are developed, and partly because professional review committeesseldom feel they

,” such as group activities involving a variety ofassignments to be completed within the group, the use of video materials, the addition of computer-oriented techniques to cover drills, and so on. One of the most complete and efficient models ofteaching for the engineering profession is the one based on the activities used by a sports coach, andmore specifically, a developmental team coach.The activities proposed by a coach for a group of developmental players must follow a very activeapproach of learning where the many aspects of the sport are introduced and immediately put intopractice by the players. The coach, however, must still follow a set of well-established principleswithin this active learning approach and this is precisely what may be

Integrated CurriculumIntroduction and BackgroundThere have for many years been efforts to bridge the gap between educational experiences inengineering and the liberal arts and sciences. Such efforts typically take the form of coursesdesigned to promote technological literacy for liberal arts majors, or courses designed toencourage engineering or science majors to consider the social and political implications of theirprofessions.Technological literacy for non-technology majors has been addressed in a variety of ways. Onevery popular version is to provide a course for students, early in their collegiate career, to learnan engineering application that has direct relevance to their lives. This approach has been used atYale University in the course
