Abstract
Russell et al cite that expanding in-class and Web-based problem-solving opportunities with instant feedback can transform large lecture courses and boost learning. The ability to systematically and efficiently solve problems is a critical engineering skill that requires both expert guidance and practice to develop. However, many traditional large-lecture courses do not provide an optimal learning environment to practice this skill. Typically, most class time in these large engineering courses is focused on content delivery. It is then left to students to master the content and practice problem solving on their own outside of class. Students are expected to practice and master concepts and solution strategies introduced during the lecture largely on their own.
