AB  - Larger engineering undergraduate class sizes have lead to an increased workload for graders, teaching assistants, and professors. Homework grading comprises much of this work. One solution has been to grade only a subset of problems from each assignment. Yet turnaround time has remained lengthy and beneficial feedback is infrequent, as graders are not often meaningfully involved in the course. Web-based tools for developing online, interactive assignments have improved significantly over the last decade. We used one of these tools (Canvas) to convert the homework assignments for a 200-level material energy balances course to an online, graded format. Unlike paper homework, these online “quizzes” guide students through the problem solving process, providing feedback and tips along the way. After the assignment, the students can immediately view questions they missed and send comments directly to the professor. We hypothesize that this homework method will increase overall understanding of the material and will be preferred over paper homework by the students. We will compare exam scores between this year and the past three years. Of note, the past three years covered the same content under the same professor, but used paper homework assignments. Our preliminary data from Exam 1 show the mean and median scores for this semester were an average of 9.4 points and 6.4 points higher, respectively, than the previous three years. At the end of the semester, we will distribute a Likert scale survey to ascertain the students’ view of the online homework system. We will use this feedback to determine the success of the online approach, make edits to the assignments, and possibly expand this method to other undergraduate engineering courses.
