Today, most students enrolled in higher education were born in the 1980s or 1990s and have grown up with access to computers, the Internet and many other electronics for daily use. Students making up this demographic are designated as digital natives. Numerous studies on the positives and negatives of the technology savvy students in education and the work force have been published. Here, a simple use of technology, specifically videos from YouTube, can be used to engage this generation of students and be a source of new course material.

Background:
The average person in the United States (U.S.) and Canada disposes approximately 2 kg (4.4 pounds) of solid waste every day. Food and yard waste represent 30% to 40% of the solid waste stream in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, contributing to multiple pressing issues including gaseous emissions, leachate generation, and diminishing landfill capacity. Many states in the U.S. are in the process of revising waste disposal regulations to more closely control the disposal of organic wastes. For example, New York State has mandated that as of 2022, facilities producing an annual averag ... (continued)

As engineering programs across the country work to address ABET’s communication competency requirement, these programs are increasingly looking for ways to incorporate writing into their curricula. In addition to developing communication competency, writing in engineering courses also offers a significant opportunity for enhancing core student learning outcomes with the effective application of writing-to-learn strategies. Writing-to-learn strategies have been successfully applied and studied across a range of STEM curricula as a way to increase students’ abilities to grasp, discuss, and apply th ... (continued)

What is Virtualized Active Learning (VAL)?
Virtualized Active Learning (VAL) engages synchronous group-based problem solving within the last 30-minutes of fully-live class offerings or the Face-to-Face component of mixed-mode delivery. As opposed to students solving problems together on-paper, which is not readily observable by the instructor nor scalable to larger class enrollments, VAL deploys laptops/tablets and Wi-Fi connectivity to create a virtualized active learning environment where students and instructors can interact.
VAL allows students who may or may not be physically co-located t ... (continued)
