Engineering - Electrical (55)This project is developing a new digital electronics course that relies on the active participation of learners at each stage of the learning process and involves web-based preview material and warm-up assignments followed by interactive classroom teaching and learning. This instructional approach, referred to as Preview, Exercise, Teaching and Learning (PETL), is a variation of the just-in-time-teaching (JiTT) methodology, and it is enhancing student learning because they take an active part in the learning process. Before a topic is presented in class, students briefly preview the new materials delivered through web-based multimedia, and then respond electronically to carefully constructed warm-up exercises, which are due before class. The interactive classroom session, built around students' responses to warm-up exercises, replaces the traditional lecture format. Project materials and results are being posted on the course website, presented at engineering education conferences and in academic journals, and through the JiTT website. Evaluation efforts, which are being guided by experts from the University's teaching and learning center, are using surveys, special tests, interviews, and focus groups to monitor the project's progress. Broader impacts include the dissemination of the instructional materials, the building of connections among faculty members who teach digital electronics, and an improvement in retention of students who find the traditional lecture ineffective.

工程-电气(55)这个项目正在开发一门新的数字电子课程，它依赖于学习者在学习过程的每个阶段的积极参与，包括基于网络的预习材料和热身作业，然后是互动课堂教学。这种教学方法被称为预习、练习、教学和学习(PETL)，是及时教学(JITT)方法的变体，它促进了学生的学习，因为他们积极参与学习过程。在课堂上介绍一个主题之前，学生们简要地预览通过网络多媒体提供的新材料，然后以电子方式回应精心设计的热身练习，这些练习是在上课前提交的。互动式课堂课程围绕学生对热身练习的反应而建立，取代了传统的授课形式。项目材料和成果将张贴在课程网站上，在工程教育会议和学术期刊上介绍，并通过JITT网站发布。评估工作由大学教学中心的专家指导，使用调查、特殊测试、访谈和焦点小组来监控项目的进展。更广泛的影响包括传播教学材料，在教授数字电子课程的教员之间建立联系，以及改善对传统授课无效的学生的留住。
