The second cohort had a 91% retention rate, with 31 of the 34 participants completingthe workshops and communities of practice.Data Sources and AnalysisTo understand the effects of the JTFD professional development program, we conducted acomprehensive, multi-faceted project evaluation. Assessment focused on four major areas: a)shifts in awareness of, attitudes towards, and reported use of active learning pedagogicalpractices, (b) changes in instructional practices, and (c) effectiveness of communities of practicessessions, and (d) satisfaction with the JTFD program. Data sources includedsurveys/assessments, classroom observations, and student-level data from courses. Facultyparticipants completed multiple surveys reporting their

Additionally, the Success pillar was statistically different from both theEmpowerment and Usefulness pillars, which were the two lowest rated pillars.

Additionally, with PBF metricsaffecting state university funding, the pressures of reaching these set goals for each of the metricsbecome eminent. Hillman et al. [6] found that PBF models negatively affect minority-servinginstitutions and as a result, can change their institutional missions. It is important to note thatwith more students in the 4+1 programs, universities can: a) increase the number of strategicdegrees produced and thus positively affect one of the set PBF metrics; and b) utilize theseprograms to retain talent by identifying top candidates for doctoral programs, which can increasethe number of strategic degrees awarded. Not to mention, students in the 4+1
whatspecific approach we choose to pursue for the VL implementation, the objective of creating theVL space remains the same: VLs must improve the quality of education for students, which isthe thesis of the virtual lab project. In order to achieve this thesis, we want to answer thefollowing research questions. a) How did students perceive VLs? b) What connections did students make between VLs and Physical Labs?2. Literature ReviewOne of the earliest use of VLs in higher education was Project Athena at Massachusetts Instituteof Technology (MIT) [1]. Project Athena began in 1983 to improve the educational quality forstudents at MIT. In Project Athena, MIT researchers used the philosophy of“gedankenexperiment” (German for “thought experiment”) [2], a
