At a minimum,seamless learning environments involve the intentional, collaborative efforts of institutionalleaders, staff, and faculty, and a shared focus on student engagement, which facilitates astudent’s potential to learn, grow, and persist

The research program has three goals: (1) to create an integrated learningplan that connects curricular and extracurricular experiences in research; (2) to provide studentswith experiences across the entire research process; and (3) to broaden participation ofunderrepresented students in engineering.This section describes the application and selection process, which was conducted during the fall2014 semester for the first cohort.

Students were required toreview the OER materials and complete the lab experiments on their own, outside of class time.Having these tutorial resources available online freed up class time that previously had been usedto demonstrate use of the software and to assist students as they completed lab exercises in class.The class time saved has been used for active in-class problem solving and for review sessionsprior to examinations. The additional time available to work with students actively in class hashad the salutary effect of improving student performance in the course: the class GPA has shownincreasing trends (effect size = 0.42) after incorporation of the OER materials.

The term, MOOC, has been defined as “any online educational course that isavailable at no or minimal cost, is open to a very large number of students, and for which theeducational materials and resources are freely available online” (p. 218).1 In general, MOOCsare free of the typical educational barriers of prerequisites, fees, and hard requirements forparticipation in the course, creating an investment-free option to access learning materials.2Indeed, those who enroll in MOOCs are free to enter and

Most higher education instructors use a traditional, summative score-based grading system. An example grade book based on this system is shown in Table 1.
