A WORKSHOP COURSE FOR OPEN-ENDED ENGINEERING DESIGN PROBLEMS

Mini workshop - A strategy for assessing student work on open-ended problems

Assessing student work on realistic, openended problems is challenging when multiple solutions of varying quality can be expected. A balance needs to be sought between school-like and engineering-practice-like feedback and assessment of student work if an instructor wishes to capitalize on the authenticity of a problem. This workshop will work with the ideas of authentic assessment for open-end...

Design Strategies for Open-Ended Evolution

Open-Ended Evolution: Perspectives from the OEE1 Workshop in York∗

We describe the content and outcomes of the First Workshop on Open-Ended Evolution: Recent Progress and Future Milestones (OEE1), held during the ECAL 2015 conference at the University of York, U.K., in July 2015. We briefly summarize the content of the workshop’s talks, and identify the main themes that emerged from the open discussions. Two important conclusions from the discussions are: (1) ...

Scaffolding in Open-Ended Learning Environments (OELEs) Workshop Co-Chairs:

Digital games have the potential to make unique and powerful contributions to science education efforts. Much of that potential, however, remains unrealized, partly because powerful games for science learning need to synergistically augment commercial game design conventions and principles with design principles specific to the goals and nature of science learning and research on science learni...
