Comparing online to face-to-face delivery of undergraduate digital circuits content / Brock J. LaMeres in IEEE transactions on education, Vol. 57 N° 2 (Mai 2014) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 57 N° 2 (Mai 2014) . - pp. 99 - 106 Titre : Comparing online to face-to-face delivery of undergraduate digital circuits content Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Brock J. LaMeres, Auteur ; Carolyn Plumb, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp. 99 - 106 Note générale : Education Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Digital  circuits  e-learning  Education  Microprocessors Résumé : This paper presents a comparison of online to traditional face-to-face delivery of undergraduate digital systems material. Two specific components of digital content were compared and evaluated: a sophomore logic circuits course with no laboratory, and a microprocessor laboratory component of a junior-level computer systems course. For each of these, a baseline level of student understanding was evaluated when they were being taught using traditional, face-to-face delivery. The course and lab component were then converted to being fully online, and the level of student understanding was again measured. In both cases, the same purpose-developed assessment tools were used to carry out the measurement of understanding. This paper presents the details of how the course components were converted to online delivery, including a discussion of the technology used to accomplish remote access of the electronic test equipment used in the laboratory. A comparison is then presented between the control and the experimental groups, including a statistical analysis of whether the delivery approach impacted student learning. Finally, student satisfaction is discussed, and instructor observations are given for the successful remote delivery of this type of class and laboratory.

Project circuits in a basic electric circuits course / J. P. Becker in IEEE transactions on education, Vol. 57 N° 2 (Mai 2014) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 57 N° 2 (Mai 2014) . - pp. 75 - 82 Titre : Project circuits in a basic electric circuits course Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : J. P. Becker, Auteur ; Carolyn Plumb, Auteur ; Richard A. Revia, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp. 75 - 82 Note générale : Education Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assessment  Biomedical  electronics  Circuit  analysis  Circuits  Education Résumé : The use of project circuits (a photoplethysmograph circuit and a simple audio amplifier), introduced in a sophomore-level electric circuits course utilizing active learning and inquiry-based methods, is described. The development of the project circuits was initiated to promote enhanced engagement and deeper understanding of course content among students. The new activities were assessed by student surveys, student scores on essay exams probing deeper learning, and classroom observations by an assessment specialist. The results are compared to similar assessments made before the introduction of the project circuits and are related to other applications of active learning approaches in the teaching of electric circuits.
