broadband internet provided on-demand video capability to studentsin the late 1990’s, instructors have been experimenting with the use of online lessons and videosto enhance student learning both inside and outside of the classroom (e.g. flipped classrooms1and distance learning2). Online videos and animations have been shown to be especiallyeffective for teaching molecular biology concepts3,4, which are often too small to see with thenaked eye and difficult to conceptualize.5 Several organizations have already created full lengthonline videos for biology topics that are available free of charge, including the BioVisions seriesfrom Harvard6, Khan Academy7, Open Courseware at MIT8, TED5, and several others9,10.

studentscome from a wide range of backgrounds and my experience of over 30 years of teachingundergraduates is that most undergraduates do not have a strong command of unitconversions. This is easy to determine by giving your class a pop quiz. Ask them todetermine the potential energy of 10 lbm 100 ft above the ground in Btu using PE=mgh if1 Btu=550 ft lbf and g=32.2 ft s-2. My experience is that a significant number ofundergraduates (not just first-year students) are not proficient at applying gc for unitconversions. Because units are such an integral part of engineering calculations, it justmakes sense to invest a little time to ensure that all freshmen know how to systematicallyapply unit conversions including the use of gc.COMMUNICATIONS It

An activity is a set of variousactions (such as ideating, negotiating, planning, agreeing, disagreeing) carried out by a group, asocial unit such as a team, motivated by a socially constructed goal. For our use, the activitiesstudied in this paper are team meetings in which a team uses a whiteboard to mediate a decisionor series of decisions.Togethering, as described by Radford and Roth, “has the purpose of realizing a collectivelymotivated object”9.

The minimum project requirements were: (1) including bothtesting and QA components, although it was up to each team to decide on the proportion of bothcomponents, (2) developing and executing a test plan, even if testing was a small part of theproject, and (3) performing a manual software inspection for selected modules or the whole SUT.
