Control signals to these modules are receivedfrom existing smartphone-based applications in the form of character data.User input devices are either (A) hardware-based inputs or (B) software-based inputs. Joysticksand push button switches are examples of hardware-based inputs, while smartphones are examplesof software-based inputs. Software-based inputs are divided into graphical and textual userinterfaces. Graphical interfaces use virtual buttons displayed on a touch screen and are availableas smartphone applications.

QuestionsDuring the last five minutes of every workshop session, a number of questions were asked toverify the students learning results and retention. The questions are: a. When we turn off the light, is there current flowing through the lights? b. When the switch is in the off position and the light is off, is the circuit open or closed? c. What is the purpose of a resistor? d. What function does the 555 timer serve in this piano? e. What is frequency? How would you describe it in your own words?The answers that we received from the students were

Of these eight, one student received 93% on the pre-test and rightly opted to not participate in the module. Two never attempted the module, while the remaining five took the pre-test and received a score ranging between 56% and 78%. Two of these students never took any additional steps beyond the pre-test. Three students stayed with the module throughout the semester. By the end of the semester, the pre-calculus grade and the GPA of these three students ranged from to B- to A, and to 2.69 to 3.75, respectively. In future offerings of ALEKS, we must find

. The benefits of peer mentoring and PLAs span more than just the outcomes of thestudents taking the targeted course. Many studies [11, 12] have emphasized the benefits to thementors, the mentees, professors, and the university.It is important to differentiate a PLA, in this work, from normal TAs. The PLAs role is to helpstudents with all aspects of a course, including homework, exams, labs, and project work. Theydo not grade student work. PLAs are undergraduate students who have taken the course inquestion and performed reasonably well (usually A and B grade students.) Selection for the PLAposition is usually based on the student’s ability to communicate and their drive to help otherslearn. Table 1 illustrates the basic differences of the two
