This 8-page document, made available by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC), is an activity on the fundamental concepts of voice over IP. During the activity students will use both a "POTS or plain old telephone system dial peer" and a VoIP dial peer. The learning objective for this...

The National Convergence Technology Center (CTC) has made convergence technology curriculum available online, which includes related topics like telecom history, voice, transmission, LANs and WANs, wireless networks and podcasts/webcasts. The site includes a syllabus, learning activities and...

This paper, from Richard M. Felder, the Hoechst Celanese Professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University, cover cooperative learning in engineering courses. Cooperative learning is explained, as well as a chronology of its implementation by the author, and an summative...

This article is an introduction to the cooperative learning model of Johnson, Johnson, and Smith (references cited in the monograph), cooperative learning activities in science and engineering courses, and ways to overcome problems that may arise when this instructional approach is used.

In this activity, developed by the Lane Community College MAPS GIS Program, students "work to understand concepts of latitude and longitude using an interactive Web-based GIS map. The lesson helps review basic concepts of coordinate geometry as they move about the world identifying coordinate...

This 25-page paper from Fred Peskoff is a report on a study used to evaluate the relationship between college students' level of mathematics anxiety and the strategies employed to cope with it. The study found that low mathematics anxiety students tend to utilize a number of "coping strategies" more...
