Each case involved a major research experiment involving new measurementtechniques, which had to be conducted during a specific time in a professional testingenvironment. To avoid missing many classes, each student could only participate for two days atmost, so that each team member had to be well-informed. The processes used to develop eachexperiment, train the team and conduct the project are discussed in the paper.

for incorporatingcomputers into classroom activities is time10,11: time to learn the technology and time to modifylectures10. One suggested solution towards reducing the time requirement for incorporatingcomputers is to create and distribute lesson plans involving structured computer use12, whichprovide roadmaps for future faculty adopting technology. Similarly, reporting the experiences ofindividual instructors incorporating technology into their classrooms (e.g., 13,14) can result in a setof “best practices” that can be used by future instructors.In this paper, we take the latter approach and report on the experience of an instructor newlyassigned to teach in a computer-infused classroom (referred to as “new instructor” in this paper

This is animportant endeavor because it allows the instructor to not lose touch with her/hisstudents’ learning process, and it allows students to participate in their own learningprocess by providing feedback to instructors. In this sense, assessment works as acommunications tool between faculty and students 15 .The assessment was prepared by both authors in close consultation with one another.Early on during the conceptual development of the project, and before the course hadbeen fully planned, an assessment plan was developed.

Most students’ initial response is to try toformulate a solution, even if it’s trivial or ill-conceived. In most cases, this initial solutionformulation should be encouraged. One should allow the students to spend some time inthinking about what the solution might be, or at least what the solution might look like. All ofthis should be recorded for later use and revision. After students have exhausted their initial efforts at solving the problem, they should beguided into thinking about what they know at that particular moment, about the problem thatmight help them solve

Two discussions varying inlength from five to ten minutes were planned for each class meeting. When asked onself-assessments, students found this learning approach unsettling because they were put on thespot and felt embarrassed if they could not give what they believed was a correct answer.Nevertheless, students found value in practicing verbal skills and in being guided.

A program with such an emphasis can become expensive. Thus, a promotionplan was developed with the specific goal of raising the funds necessary to run the program.Finally, besides money, program support can come in other forms. Some examples include:field trip ideas, guest speakers for courses, class design projects, senior project ideas, serviceproject ideas, and equipment donations.

We need to know how to direct ourmentors to activate learning, team formation, and team performance.Our research question then is: “What roles and practices can mentors take to activate team formation, team performance, and individual learning?”Effective mentor roles were surfaced using a qualitative method case study. The case involved aclass of 44 students and six mentors. Each week the mentors conducted the lab, recorded theirinsights of effective mentoring practices, distilled “best practices,” and incorporate these into thenext week’s lab plan. The mentor best practices and an end of treatment student questionnairewere used to
