This paper presents the design and initial adoption of a new class-level interface that has been added to the on-line Team-effectiveness Learning System (TELS) at the University of Toronto. TELS is an on-line self- and peer-assessment system that allows students to provide intra-team feedback within their project teams. This class-level interface responds to instructor interest in having a better way of assessing and supporting their class’ performance in teamwork as a whole. The interface allows an instructor to assess whether the class has demonstrated sufficient proficiency at teamwork, and/or which areas the class needs to improve to demonstrate proficiency.Launched in September 2015, the class-level interface is currently being used in 5 courses. Preliminary findings indicate the feature to be a useful tool in supporting instructors to tailor their teamwork instruction and activities to the needs of the class.

This paper outlines the design of a new instructor interface that has been added to the on-line Team-effectiveness Learning System (TELS) at the University of Toronto. TELS is a tool that supports team-based project courses by facilitating the development of individual team-effectiveness competencies in students within their teams. Instructors saw the system as beneficial for student growth, but they also saw opportunities for them to get a better understanding of the state of their student teams. As a result, TELS has now developed an instructor interface to let instructors “see” into their teams. The instructor interface has been adopted by four courses since its development

First Time

MIE 515, Alternative Energy Systems, an engineering technical elective course open to senior undergraduates and graduate students, was delivered as an on line course for Fall 2011. This is the first time an undergraduate engineering course at the University of Toronto has been offered online. The course is also one of five pilot online courses across the University. The move online is being accomplished in two steps. For Fall 2011, a small lecture section of 25 students was used as a setting for video capture and the remaining 110 students accessed the course lectures online asynchronously. A live tutorial was offered once a week. All students were physically present for the midterm examination and the final examination. For Fall 2012, the course will be delivered entirely online, with the exception of student physical presence for the two examinations. Pedagogical and technical lessons learned during this transition year will be presented. The benefits and drawbacks of online delivery will be discussed from the perspective gained this year and compared with our expectations. Student feedback will also be presented and discussed.

This paper describes the adaptation of a foreign language app called Guess it! Language Trainer, successfully used for several years with students from a German language course at the University of Cádiz, to suit the needs of Maritime English learners. The app is based on a community-driven learning system to support students in their vocabulary learning, especially outside class. The system requires students to guess words with the help of a given context; then, to assess and, eventually, report the words and sentences they have played and later, to create and propose their own sentences for one or more words from the course syllabus. Once students have introduced their own example sentences, these become part of the learning system—hence being available to the entire learner community for peer-assessment. By promoting students to actively participate in the design of their own learning resources, the authors aimed both to pay tribute to the increasing demand of researchers and practitioners to design learner-centered environments as well as to provide a learning system that can easily be implemented and adapted to different learning contexts, taking into account students’ language proficiency as well as collective learning preferences.

New Phase

C.I.M is on-line. This issue marks the beginning of a new phase of publication for the journal: CIM is now available only on-line. Over its 30 year existence, CIM has been published in several formats and by different agencies. In recent years, CIM was owned and published by CMA as one of its associate journals. In 2004, CSCI purchased CIM and ownership reverted to the society. Since then, CIM has been type-set and formatted in-house and printed and distributed by University of Toronto Press (UTP) and, as in interim measure, the journal was available on the CSCI web-site. This process was threatened by the sale of UTP's off-set Printing Division. Links have now been established between CSCI, CIM and the University of Toronto Library to make use of the U of T Open Journal Access initiative to develop sophisticated on-line distribution. The Library supports journals via the Open Journal System (OJS) management software as well as providing archiving facilities. CIM will remain a subscription journal but, in the spirit of open access, all content will be freely available after a six month publication delay. Access will also be made available to all Canadian Universities via their library websites and authors will have immediate access for submitted articles.

Team Project

Many first-year design courses in engineering take place in large classes (100-1000 students), where a significant portion of the student’s course grade is attributed to a team project. In these large classes most students receive limited, or no, personalized assessment or feedback to guide their ongoing learning of effectiveness in teams due to resource constraints (e.g. limited interaction time with instructors or teaching assistants). As a result, students are not provided a foundation upon which to continuously improve their effectiveness as they participate in different teams throughout their degree. A web-based tool is being designed to create a safe, virtual environment in which students can learn about their team-effectiveness competencies through the use of self- and peer-assessment in their project teams [1]. Specifically, this intervention provides students with a team-effectiveness framework to create a common language by which structured feedback can be provided based on observable behaviours and competencies.A pilot study to assess the utility of this framework in facilitating useful feedback was tested in the Winter 2012 term of a 250 student cornerstone design course, Praxis II, in first year Engineering Science. The objective of the study was to assess whether students can be guided to provide useful feedback on team-effectiveness to their teammates using our team-effectiveness framework.

This report focusses on the planning and realization of an interdisciplinary local area network (LAN) for medical research at the University of Heidelberg. After a detailed requirements analysis, several networks were evaluated by means of a test installation, and a cost-performance analysis was carried out. At present, the LAN connects 45 (IBM-compatible) PCs, several heterogeneous mainframes (IBM, DEC and Siemens) and provides access to the public X.25 network and to wide-area networks for research (EARN, BITNET). The network supports application software that is frequently needed in medical research (word processing, statistics, graphics, literature databases and services, etc.). Compliance with existing “official” (e.g., IEEE 802.3) and “de facto” standards (e.g., PostScript) was considered to be extremely important for the selection of both hardware and software. Customized programs were developed to improve access control, user interface and on-line help. Wide acceptance of the LAN was achieved through extensive education and maintenance facilities, e.g., teaching courses, customized manuals and a hotline service. Since requirements of clinical routine differ substantially from medical research needs, two separate networks (with a gateway in between) are proposed as a solution to optimally satisfy the users’ demands.
