Furthermore,faculty may also wish to diagnose whether their application of an active learning method isworking as planned.At Gonzaga University, we use active learning sessions in a Junior-level design class. Each ofthese sessions combine brief mini-lectures, a problem to solve situated in a case, and a set oftasks for the student team to complete. The aim of these sessions is to teach teamwork skills suchas group problem solving, team logistical planning, and giving peer feedback. During eachsession, the

Somecourses available at the university or college level do not necessarily provide students with labsthat could facilitate gaining hands-on knowledge, on top of the theory learned from theclassroom, to make them more competitive with their peers [17]. Students will become criticalthinkers in this project by identifying a real-world problem faced in the IoT ecosystems. Althoughthey might realize that various IoT

The problem was that the resolution of the video teleconferencing medium wastoo poor to deliver the equation-intensive material in these courses. The instructors would haveto write equations in large characters in order to be legible over the TV and were often frustratedby the small amount they could fit on one screen.

It was found that ongoingcollaboration with faculty and increased student contact improved the effectiveness of librarian-led information literacy instruction. Allegorically, the authors have also found that their ownstudents, even when presented with the proper resources to search for and retrieve peer-reviewedarticles, handbooks and conference proceedings will frequently resort to web references.Examples of this may be found in three works authored with undergraduates. Admittedly, as ofthis writing, the co-author’s own work has fallen victim to the vagaries of online publishing, (e.g.Gadia et al., 2005a, Gadia et al., 2005b, Layton et al., 2007)4-6

A multi-author textbook might be tempting,but the challenges of writing such a textbook from the blank page are numerous [21]. Even witha good textbook, freshman students are often already overwhelmed by the transition to college,homework for math and science courses, and a slowly dawning realization that college, unlikemany high school experiences, will require effort outside the classroom.
