Framework for Evaluating Simulations: Analysis of Student Developed Interactive Computer Tool
Presentation Materials | 25 Jun 2015 | Contributor(s): Kelsey Joy Rodgers, Heidi A Diefes-Dux, Yi Kong, Krishna Madhavan
This is the presentation for a paper presented at the 2015 annual American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) conference. The paper discusses a developed framework for evaluating and scaffolding student-developed simulations in an open-ended learning environment. The full paper...
Mathematical Models and Simulations Workshop Presentation
Presentation Materials | 10 Mar 2015 | Contributor(s): Kelsey Joy Rodgers, Heidi A Diefes-Dux, Krishna Madhavan, Yi Kong
Developing engineers for a changing world presents a greater need for students to understand simulations. Understanding mathematical models and simulations are skills that all engineers need for industry and research, but many engineering students lack a conceptual understanding of how to develop...
NanoRoughness MEA - Day 3 Training
Presentation Materials | 29 Jul 2013 | Contributor(s): Heidi A Diefes-Dux, Kelsey Joy Rodgers, Paul Branham, Krishna Madhavan
This is the first part of Day 3 (out of 3) Training for the NanoRoughness MEA. This training was mainly about discussion so there is very little content in this PowerPoint. There is an example of Purdue's MEA implementation sequence.
NanoRoughness MEA - Day 2 Training
This is the first part of Day 2 (out of 3) Training for the NanoRoughness MEA. This training introduces the grading rubric for the NanoRoughness MEA (i.e. I-MAP) and how to give effective feedback.The materials from the "NanoRoughness MEA - Training Materials" and "NanoRoughness MEA - Grading...
Nano Roughness MEA - Day 1 Training
This is the first part of Day 1 (out of 3) Training for the NanoRoughness MEA. This training introduces Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs), the NanoRoughness MEA, and problem scoping.
Thinking about Learning Objectives
Presentation Materials | 07 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s): Krishna P. C. Madhavan
The first and most significant step in the backward design process is the identification of clear learning objectives that will eventually be assessed. Using New Bloom's Taxonomy as the theoretical basis, we highlight how learning objectives can be written such that they focus on cognitive and...
Backward Design for Instruction
Presentation Materials | 07 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s): Krishna P. C. Madhavan, Sean Brophy
Backward design is an instructional design process that focuses on what specific learning objectives need to be accomplished and how learning will be assessed appropriately before the instructional materials are designed. This design process is the complete opposite of what instructors typically...
How People Learn 101: Theory and Practice
One of the primary goals of the NCN Education and Assessment Group is to allow insights from engineering education research to diffuse into the engineering curricula. This resource is designed to provide faculty members designing a course using nanoHUB resources a quick introduction to the How...
