This post summarizes my continuing pursuit to move lectures from my classes into short screencasts and reading assignments. It was inspired by my participation in the Fall 2012 Teaching with Technology seminar series and has been an ongoing project since that time.

The use of online course-management platforms and interactive learning environments is gaining traction at many Universities, but the use of these systems is certainly far from the norm. In this document, I discuss possible barriers to successful implementation of these systems for technical courses in engineering and science disciplines. Objectives...

In some instances students work individually on projects, submitting them over the course of the semester (and completely a large final project). In other cases, students work collaboratively the entire time. In still...
