for students (homework exercises, online tutorials), resources for faculty (solution manual, PowerPoint lecture slides), price, and acceptability. If many of your students transfer to other institutions, it may be worth considering a textbook utilized by many faculty in your discipline. A textbook is essential if at least 60% of your material and assignments are available in one source. Once a textbook has been selected, use it as much as possible. Students tend to dislike purchasing a required textbook only to have it lying unused. Some of the textbook publishers offer the option of creating a custom book for your course, which includes sections from several stand-alone textbooks.4. Course Syllabus: Once you have decided on

Community building can be added to the syllabus aspart of a learning assignment. For example, grouping students for topic search, sharing resources,or any other low-level activities can help build relationships. Forming small groups is always agood idea so that students have the opportunity to contribute equally.ConclusionThis exploratory study contributed to the field of STEM education and, specifically, tounderstanding how STEM graduate students learn in shared collaborative learning environments.The findings revealed that inquiry-based online courses with integration of applied research peerreview activities need

At one end is pure distance learning in which course material,assessment, and support is all delivered online, with no face to face contact between students andteachers. At the other end of the spectrum is an organizational intranet, which replays printedcourse materials online to support what is basically a conventional face to face course. However,websites that are just database of knowledge, without links to learning, communication, andassessment activities, are not learner centered and cannot be considered true web based learning.The hybrid delivery model is a mixture of static and interactive materials which ensure that theindividual face to face teaching is supplemented by the

Virtual help sessions on eCampus using BlackboardCollaborate Ultra were created to help students learn the material. Based on the results in thetwo-year period, it will be determined how much of the lectures will be flipped. Challenges andlessons learned during the first semester are discussed, these include: What if students do notspend time prepare for the flipped class? What if it takes longer time to cover the materials usingthe flipped classroom approach? Is there an impact on the faculty teaching load or the actual timethey spend in teaching the course

It is stressed that copying workfrom other students will result in all involved students receiving a grade of 0 for theassignment and the possibility of a failing grade in the course.Each syllabus for these courses contains the following warning.

The first two classes of the semester were thus devoted to motivatingthe students. In particular, the importance of software reuse was emphasized. In addition to thecommonly cited

Anyinstitution considering the establishment of a teaching center should consider thefollowing elements of training for distance learning faculty.1. Training prior to the first online course – New faculty candidates should be required toattend an intensive training program that introduces them to the organization’s standards,procedures and its teaching/learning philosophy.

Since the discipline-specific modules are stand-alone, new modules can bedeveloped and replace older ones as the landscape of the specific field changes over time or asfaculty members teaching the course change over time. Also, because the teaching facultydeveloped the module themselves, they retain autonomy over that component of the coursematerial even though they are teaching according to an identical course syllabus. The benefits ofhaving 10 sections teach the same material at the same time, and having 10 instructors withownership over course material was realized using this model.The idea became to create a course based on three modules consisting of a general engineeringmodule and two discipline-specific modules that are designed

Studentsunderstand that the majority of their assessment, particularly on the final exam, will be based onproblem solving. Perhaps we could attempt to entirely interleave the course, working problems fromthroughout the course syllabus each lesson. Some might even suggest using mastery techniques, orasynchronous online methods so students could practice at their own pace. Using such approachesmight sacrifice the sense of community that was developed in the classroom, and the collaborativeproblem-solving techniques that were appreciated by the majority
