Feedback fromcourse evaluation was positive overall, and many liked the course split between theory andpractice, between professor of instruction and lab TAs. We are currently collecting data from thecourse evaluations, and we hope to analyze the data and present the results in future work.Conclusions and Future WorkThis paper presented a comprehensive framework for teaching cloud computing in highereducation. The framework forces the student to use the Cloud throughout his academic career insuch a way that prepares him for certification as well as entry

The course requires types of assignments (report and proposal) that students are more likely to write as professionals in their future careers. 2. The course gives students a more authentic writing assignment (having scope defined by manager and having an authentic audience, purpose, and format). 3. The course gives students feedback on the technical precision of the writing. 4.

Sandoval, Phuong TruongAbstract: Learning can be a daunting and challenging process, particularly in engineering. Whilecognitive models for learning such as Bloom's taxonomy have been developed since the 1950s andevidenced to be useful in designing engineering courses, these models are not commonly explicitlytaught in classrooms to help students manage and regulate their own learning. In highly demandingcurriculum such as engineering, ineffective strategies can lead to poor academic performance thatcascades throughout a student’s academic career. Feedback from traditional examinations often donot provide personalized and actionable changes to study habits (i.e., with suboptimal scores,students may know they need to study more, but whether “more

One is the tension between providingstudents with a pre-prescribed solution path and having them create their own. Because there isoften only one way to solve each problem, it may be tempting to provide steps for each problemtype covered in class. Additionally, the recommended practice of scaffolding, starting with fullproblem-solving direction and then slowly removing guidance, suggests that providing studentswith step-by-step example problems will help them learn [9].
