Rather we would like to examine a subsetof threshold concepts and illustrate, first, that they can form a design basis for development ofInteractive Virtual Laboratories where students can actively experience multiple representations,and, second, that experience with these virtual laboratories helps students learn.The following specific project objectives have been constructed to achieve this goal: 1. Validate a set of at least six proposed threshold concepts in thermodynamics. 2. Develop Interactive Virtual Laboratories to provide students multiple representations and help them experientially explore these threshold concepts. Develop the virtual laboratories based on engineering education best practices and multimedia

These rationales are valid if these entities want to beactively involved in international educational activities, and can be stated as academic, cultural,political and economic. However, this academic globalization will have its impact on educationas well as on the providers. These can be categorized as follows [1]  Cooperation: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among academic institutes for mutual recognition of credits.

This is one area ofproblem solving that sets the engineering students and engineering professionals apart frommany other disciplines. Thus the advancement of engineering education worldwide andparticularly in developing countries requires resources for the efficient application of numericalmethods by engineering students, faculty and staff.Access to software and the computing resources that can enable numerical problem solving is aparticular challenge to engineering departments in

Our results show that students welcome web-conferencing as a very effectivemeans to deliver classes to distance students and improve their learning experience.introductionIn recent years there has been an increasing interest in delivering engineering courses throughnon-traditional means, such as by distance, on-line, flexible, and combinations/blends oflocated and on-line learning environments.1

The purpose of this study was to explorehow AR might affect student motivation for vocabulary learning.An exploratory pilot study of a freely available augmented reality English vocabulary learningapplication was conducted to assess AR’s influence on students’ learning motivation. Semi-structured interviews were used for gathering assessment data. By analyzing the gatheredqualitative data within the framework of the ARCS Model, our results suggest that AR may helpwith student motivation toward the beginning of the application session, but tended to decreasetoward the end of the session.

Our conceptual framing is based onthe assumptions of the academic plan model, which posits that a variety of factors, both internaland external to faculty and their institutions, influence faculty as they plan and design courses 46.The academic plan model (Figure 1) builds on the observation by Toombs and Tierney47 that acurriculum is “an intentional design for learning negotiated by faculty in light of their specializedknowledge and in the context of social expectations and students’ needs” (p. 183).

From an institutional perspective, the cost of developing and maintainingthe infrastructure necessary to reduce the logistical challenges deterring engineering studentsfrom international training remains a central challenge.

In addition to this, themajority of the engineering faculty had never gone through a formal training in teaching andlearning pedagogy. Therefore, faculty will mainly rely on the only two teaching approaches theyknow; 1) they will either teach in the same way that they were taught or 2) they will teach in thesame way they learn the best. These two teaching approaches are not the most effective; in fact,they are among the most ineffective approaches due to the inherent gap in the learning stylesbetween the new generation students and the faculty.
