Chad; Martin, Wendy; Mercier, Emma; Moher, Tom; Ogan, Amy; Pinkard, Nichole; Polman, Joseph; Roschelle, Jeremy; Schank, Patricia; Taylor, Katie Headrick; Wilkerson, Michelle; Worsley, Marcelo – Grantee Submission, 2017
Cyberlearning researchers envision and investigate the future of learning with technology. As of summer 2017, the Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies (CFTL) program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) had made 279 research grant awards. In addition, several hundred other NSF research projects have cyberlearning themes. Many of…

Tucci, Valerie K.; O'Connor, Abby R.; Bradley, Lynn M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
An innovative, three-year seminar program was developed for undergraduates at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) that supplements the core chemistry curriculum by teaching the auxiliary skills necessary for life as a professional chemist. Advising, good laboratory practice, and information literacy are the strategic components of this program that…

Martinez, F.; Herrero, L. C.; de Pablo, S. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
Project-based learning (PBL) and cooperative learning are, in various aspects, very superior education methodologies compared to other traditional ones. They are highly appropriate methodologies for elective courses, as they exert a strong attraction on the students, quite apart from their educational advantages. This paper describes how PBL and…

Alorda, B.; Suenaga, K.; Pons, P. – Computers & Education, 2011
This paper reports on the design, implementation and assessment of a new approach course structure based on the combination of three cooperative methodologies. The main goal is to reduce the percentage of non-passed students focusing the learning process on students by offering different alternatives and motivational activities based on working in…

Koszalka, Tiffany A.; Wu, Yiyan – Quarterly Review of Distance Education, 2010
Changes in engineering practices have spawned changes in engineering education and prompted the use of distributed learning environments. A distributed collaborative engineering design (CED) course was designed to engage engineering students in learning about and solving engineering design problems. The CED incorporated an advanced interactive…

Braught, Grant; Wahls, Tim; Eby, L. Marlin – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2011
Previous studies indicate that the use of pair programming has beneficial effects on student learning. In this article, we present a controlled study that directly measured students' acquisition of individual programming skills using laboratory practice (in which students programmed individually under exam conditions). Additionally, we analyzed…

Montero, E.; Gonzalez, M. J. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
Problem-based learning has been at the core of significant developments in engineering education in recent years. This term refers to any learning environment in which the problem drives the learning, because it is posed in such a way that students realize they need to acquire new knowledge before the problem can be solved. This paper presents the…
