Approximately 120 students attend a one-hour lecture in an auditorium. Thefollowing day, students attend a small lab session, usually 26 students, to allow more contactwith each student while s/he practices. There has been concern voiced regarding large lectureswith respect to attendance rates, effectiveness of large lecture instruction, and connectivitybetween the instructor and students15. To provide a more flexible learning environment and improve student learningoutcomes16-18, a blended learning approach was adopted in 2010 by approximately half of theEGR115

. For each half bridge circuit, the students again take measurements ofthree different weights. This process is repeated once more for a full bridge circuit using all fourstrain gauges.The final part of the lab requires the students to choose one of the bridge setups (quarter, half, orfull) to measure an unknown weight. At least four known calibration weights are used to create acalibration curve relating weight and strain as measured by their chosen Wheatstone bridgesetup. They then choose some object that they want to weigh, which can be a textbook, abackpack, or even a fellow classmate. This object is weighed on their ‘scale’ – the instrumentedaluminum beam – and then weighed on a calibrated laboratory scale to get the reference value.This

Researchers point out that very few classroom-based studies exist, however, to definethe relationship between instructional technology and retention9,10. Many studies have beenconducted in laboratory settings by cognitive scientists and psychologists in an attempt toestablish a link between instructional technology and retention11. Whether or not these laboratorystudies—which often utilize simple learning activities and short retention spans—can begeneralized to classroom learning is questioned by some3.Alternatively, there are multitudinous examples of classroom-based research linking technologywith learning and retention, but the vast majority of these
