10 One online approach NOT a capture of a traditional lecture: Produced, dense, high quality content Many engineers seek perfection given tools: video editing watch yourself

11 One online approach Produce, debug, produce, pilot-deliver, assess, evaluate, debug, repeat Instructional designers are key: how do students learn effectively? Exam proctoring by independent vendor.

12 One online approach Pedagogical innovation: Short videos on a single topic, include animations, integrate self assessments, pass quiz before progressing Extra material, unlimited time for examples, link in prerequisite material t

13 One online approach Office hours via Skype with pdf capture for participants Popular with on campus students and online (students Skype in anywhere) Popular with some faculty (can do it from anywhere with tablet and stylus) Face to face students are requesting this Flipped classroom leverages content developed

14 One online approach Not all faculty want (or should) do this (yet). Student interaction is crucial. Share videos, examples, content among courses (RC filter in 4 courses)

15 One online approach Labs: hardware kits, CAD, simulations, web controlled experiments, virtual Do licenses allow remote access? Matlab usually allows Cadence usually does not International embargoes International export control
