Four original case studies were developed using the Herreid(1997) definition of the components for a good case study used in the sciences.12, 13 TheNational Center for Case Study Teaching in Science (NCCSTS) model recommends several keyfactors for developing a good case.12 These are: 1) the case tells a story; 2) it focuses on aninteresting-arousing issue; 3) the case is set within the past five years and can be real or fictionalas long as it is factual; 4) it creates empathy with the central characters; 5) the case must havepedagogic utility; and 5) the case is short. Cases submitted to NCCSTS are peer reviewed andpublished in a database. Table 1 lists the four cases and tour developed for the educational studyto be used in the laboratory

Through the use of technology, hybrid learning courses allow students to learn newconcepts on their own outside of the classroom and then physically come to class to get theirquestions answered and engage in various discussions [4]. Furthermore, there is additionalstudent engagement as they are able to actually meet with the instructors of the course as well astheir peers in the class. Webb et. al.

All interviews were recorded, transcribed andanalyzed. The software package N632 was used for this analysis.Initially, the research program focussed on re-writing the software. The prototype (written inPHP and using a MySQL database) had developed in an ad-hoc way and could not be readilymodified to handle the increased demands being placed on it. This prototype was replacedwith a new version of the software (written in Python and using a PostgreSQL database).Subsequently, the focus of the research program shifted to the implementation of the softwareitself and to the

For example,integration of informal microblogging in the UK, among two groups of students lead the authorsto conclude that community building and peer support were two of the most beneficial impactsof Twitter use7. Similar findings were observed among Chinese students who used Twitter aspart of their courses: they created a community that provided social support and motivation tolearn 8-10.

It has arisen at a time when the term chat had a negative connotation. Today it is occasionally also extended to mean audio, video conferencing or instant messaging systems, given they provide a text-based multi-user chat function. The word synchronous in this case is not to be considered a technical term, but rather describing how it is perceived by humans – chat happens in real time before your eyes.- Wiki enables participants to work together on web pages to add, expand and change

online discussion can never be as effective as an in-class discussion, andbased on the survey results discussed later, the students in these courses tended to agree. We feel,however, that both online and in-class discussions can have a place in hybrid course delivery. In-class discussions offer a synchronous flow of ideas and allow the students to react toextemporaneous questions. Online discussions allow the students to form thoughtful responsesover time and supplement their comments with research. In addition, some students, particularlythose whose first language is not English, often are more comfortable writing their thoughts thanexpressing them orally in front of a classroom of peers. The online discussion board draws outthe student who

Questioning the students exposed that the long hours were not spent in hardware designor troubleshooting. Most of their time was in software programming, testing, debugging, and fur-ther testing. In general, the team would write code for the task, download onto the target hard-ware, and run it. As expected, it would often crash. The latest code changes would be examined,and a rapid decision formed as to the cause. A single line of code is changed, and the processbegins a new.
