) into Learning Management System (LMS) based“quizzes,” b) develop sketching problems for the modules that previously did not have them, and c)compile a “sketching only” workbook suitable for use in the spatial skills course. The rationale behindthis decision was as follows: ● As we moved to online instruction, one significant criticism levied against universities was the increased cost that was an especially difficult burden for students from low SES groups. Since these are some of the students targeted for spatial skills instruction, a brief workbook would be less expensive than requiring them to have a printer and toner, a touch-screen computer/tablet, or a stylus for sketching. ● There is evidence
society’s complexproblems. Introducing systems thinking in the context of reality-based projects can equipstudents with critical tools and expose students to working across disciplines which will greatlybenefit them in their careers.References[1] A.

Students earn tokens by answering exam questions, completing labs, and/orcompleting mini-projects. The token progression was built around Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, alearning taxonomy that breaks learning into 4 levels, shown in Figure 1 [12]. To earn a C,students must meet all of the level 2 objectives. Level 3 and 4 objectives could be completed toearn additional tokens.Depth of Knowledge 1 (DK1) is recalland reproduce.

Inaddition to careful wording, we saw this format as a means to mitigate the sense of being ranked.We wanted to invite members of the organization to comfortably place themselves on thetrajectory toward becoming community engaged, not reject it as out of reach. Thus, to also offeropportunities to learn and grow, we linked the categories (e.g., mostly Bs) to descriptions andideas; for example: “Your program is characterized as for the community.
