The current VR module is a semi self-paced tutorial.Concurrent research (Phase III) is being conducted to investigate how well students understand thequeuing theory concept using this updated VR teaching module versus traditional classroomlecture. Data is currently being collected using a different set of students with the same conceptualquiz but taught the topic in a traditional classroom manner (control group). Afterwards, we plan toprovide a comparative analysis of both approaches, control group versus experimental group anddisseminate the results..

Figure 1 for an example in-class activity designed to address this issue.Figure 1 – Example in-class activity plan illustrating who does what when and how.In this particular activity students are grouped based on what they know, so the groups are morehomogeneous than heterogeneous. This works well for this exercise because groups will be ableto advance more toward identifying the key parameters and then finding the right equations whenworking with other students who also understand that same geometry fairly well. Because in thisactivity we are asking the students to explore the material on their own and for the first time,homogeneous grouping will likely lead to more success than heterogeneous grouping.

In course planning and preparation, theinstructor adopted a learning-centered paradigm, while using a Learning Management System(LMS) (i.e., Blackboard) for course organization, file sharing, assignment posting/submission,grading, and testing. The instructor’s goal was to create a learning environment in which studentscould learn to restructure the new information and their prior knowledge into new knowledgeabout the content, and practice using it. Course design included a combination of mini/bridginglectures (as needed), readings, group discussions, exams, assignments, and a team project

Her direction from the start was in first attempting to uncover andknit together existing users and user-groups, existing user skills and existing spatial interests andcommonalities. The difference between what was originally described and how the approachwas actually taken is of interest not only as a model for GIS practices in a library but for broaderdevelopment of inter-disciplinary work across the library and university.The position was initially developed to provide leadership in planning, developing and managinginterdisciplinary GIS services, instruction, programs and collections.

The student group determined several operators for achievinga step-by-step problem solving: With the help of mind maps and group discussions, severalsuggestive questions were set as a first step in the implementation of their training concept.These questions are supposed to be provided to women and men as part

Projectswere structured to last approximately 90 minutes, so if some students took a little longer they didnot run out of time to complete their projects. If a student finished early, they were given theoption of leaving early each week, or completing a second version of the project from that weekor one of the earlier weeks if they had a hands-on item they wanted to create again.Projects (and related tools included): wooden coasters (measuring, Dremel tools), string art(pattern planning, pliers, hammers, nails), wooden swiss-cheese (power drill, drill bits, vise),ratcheting wrench mini

In lecture, the instructor introduces theconcept of lumped vs distributed thermal systems and what types of shapes can be reasonablymodeled as lumped systems and why.With some additional equipment and planning this exercise could be repeated later in the courseas a lab with data collection to monitor temperature response.

dimensionality ofthe survey data input increases 𝑛𝑛-TARP should continue to be effective. We intend to expand thedimensionality of the data by including all the questions from the pre-survey instead of the eightquestion subset we used in this study. This goal of including additional questions poses somechallenges since not all questions have a Likert scale, nor are they all ordinal. Further, in this studywe considered pre-course survey responses from only four courses; moving forward we plan toincrease this analysis to over 200 courses.6. CONCLUSIONSIn summary, we proposed a new data analysis approach for survey data using 𝑛𝑛-TARP. We generateda distribution of clusters based on student responses to MOOC pre-course survey questions.

This rubric allowed us to define clearly,why a particular grade was earned, rather than the previously used subjective, holistic approach.Again, we found this new TDP rubric to be effective in helping students meet the desiredoutcome. Out of 15 teams, 100% exceeded the minimum threshold of 70% for satisfactoryperformance. In fact, the lowest grade was an 83%.

For example, do the students knowwhat “engineering” is when asked if girls belong? Interest scores in science were lower than inother areas.
