While issues of jargon and terminologymake clarity of communication via a survey challenging, it can lead to dialogue needed toachieve commonality in meaning. This dialogue was sought with the open-ended questions. In apaper, or survey; however, dialogue is still somewhat illusive.

The innovative aspects of this project are: a) meet student learning needs based on theirdiverse educational background, b) provide multiple delivery options, c) complete modules(rather than courses) to receive college credit(s) or certificate(s), and d) provide

For each module,students tackle a practical, complex but well-designed, problem(s) to solve, employing just-in-time discovery of principles in a cooperative-learning environment. The class motto is "thinkbetter and retain more". The first two modules are, to a large extent, the largest and mostextensive as concepts encountered there are extended to the other modules.
