Bandura is used as the theoretical foundation for this study. It incorporatesthe elements of behavioral and the cognitive aspects of learning such as attention, motivation,and memory functions [13-14]. According to this theory, the learning outcomes depend on threefactors:(a) personal factors: internal cognitive factors based on knowledge and attitude(b) behavioral factors: outcome expectations influenced by observable behavior in others(c) environmental factors: social norms, community access, social support, and barriers The social cognitive theory was applied to this study to explain the relationship between anindividual student, the peers or instructor/TA, and the learning environment.

Students discussed whatinformation needs to be established between the communicating parties in advance, in addition tothe basic mapping (000=A, 001=B, etc.). For example, the 64-bit message requires agreement onthe raster scan order, and the 21-bit code requires agreement on the ship order (e.g., longest toshortest).Next, modulation was introduced as a mappingfrom individual bits or groups of bits in the sourceencoded message to transmission symbols.

The microphone on the marker and USB speaker greatly improve the ability tocommunicate with students who attend remotely. The biggest drawback using this method is thatthe video quality is limited to the capability of the iPad’s front-facing camera.
