TPS (Think-Pair-Share) is a cooperative learning strategy where students think about their responses for a problem given by instructor then discuss their individual solutions in pairs and share those solutions with the class. Think-PairFree-Open-Source-Software-Share (TPFOSSS) is a modified activity of TPS in which free open source software can be used in TPS activity. How these two activities can be used in teaching the engineering courses is explained in this paper. Here, the case study of Theory of Computation which is the core course of Computer Science and Engineering and the base for many other courses like System Programming, Compiler Construction, etc. is considered. These TPS and TPFOSSS activities are employed for the Theory of Computation course to improve students' conceptual understanding. In this paper, one group Pre-Test Post-Test model is considered. Experimental results, students' perception about these activities and effectiveness of these activities are also presented in the study.Keywords

Think-Pair-Share (TPS) is a Collaborative, active learning strategy, in which students work on a problem given by an instructor, initially individually, then in pairs, and finally together with the entire class. T24S is a modified TPS activity in which students initially think individually, followed by discussion on problem-solving strategies in pairs and then in groups of four students followed by share phase. This T24S method is useful for Mathematical based courses like Theory of Computation, mathematics, Earthquake Engineering etc. In this paper, the case study of mathematical course like Theory of Computation course of Computer Science and Engineering is considered. Theory of Computation is the course having mathematical orientation and the prerequisite for many courses in Computer Science and Engineering such as System Programming, Compiler Construction etc. This modified TPS activity is considered for Theory of Computation course to improve students' fundamental knowledge of the course and in turn to improve their performance of students in the examination. In this paper, one group Pre-Test Post-Test model is considered. Experimental results and student's perception about this activity are also presented. Also other active learning strategies considered for this course are explained to improve university results.Keywords

There are various active learning strategies like Game based Learning (GBL), Puzzle based Learning (PBL), Project based Learning, Problem based Learning etc to improve students' knowledge. Puzzle based learning (PBL) can be used to attract, motivate, and retain students as well as to improve the critical thinking and problem solving ability of students. Similarly Game based Learning (GBL) can also be used to promote students' interest and engagement, and provide immediate feedback on performance. Hence in this study, I designed the GPBL(Game and Puzzle based Learning)which is the combination of the PBL and GBL to improve the critical thinking and problem solving ability of students. So in GPBL,Crossword puzzle,word search puzzle, word scramble puzzle and word match puzzle are considered while game considered is snake and Ladder game. This activity was conducted for the course Digital Technique of Second Year Computer Science and Engineering. Twelve puzzles (three Crossword puzzles, three Word Search puzzles, three Word Matching puzzles and three Word Scramble puzzles) and three Snake and Ladder games are considered as a part of this GPBL activity which covers the syllabus of the course Digital Technique. Also the feedback related to this activity is presented.Keywords

Practical work motivates the students, inspires their interest in the course, enhances their understanding about the course, improves the problem analyzing and solving skills, bridge the gap between teachings and understanding the course, concentrate on the fundamentals and its application etc. Various active and cooperative learning methods are practiced in the teaching-learning process to engage students in activity-based or problem-based learning and motivate them to enhance their understanding about the course. In this study, we considered the handout based learning during the laboratory session and titled this activity as HBL (Handout based Learning). We have designed the handouts for the various courses like C-Programming, Digital Technique, System Programming and Mobile Application Development course of Computer and Allied branches. Also we considered the case study of HBL for Mobile Application Development and Digital Technique course. Based on the students' response and feedback for HBL activity, we observed that there is an improvement in the students' problem solving skill and application implementation.Keywords

While studying various engineering courses, we often come across two types of problem statements: Simple problems which are possible to solve within two steps where as Complex one are those which required more than two steps to solve. Further in complex type of problem statement, there are two types: Type 1- Complexity is less initially and increases as we proceed further and Type 2- Complexity is more initially and it decreases for further steps. In the present study, we considered the active learning strategies to solve these types of problem statement. For this study, Theory of Computation course of Second Year Computer Science and Engineering is considered. Think-Pair- Share (TPS) is a well known active learning strategy in which students work on a problem posed by instructor, first individually (Think), then in pairs (Pair) and finally together with the entire class (Share).TPS is considered for Simple type of problem statement. After implementing TPS frequently, we have modified the TPS activity in such a way that it can be used to solve the Type1 and Type2 problem statements as mentioned above. The modified active learning strategies are renamed T24S (Think-Pair- Four in Group-Share) and T21S (Team-Pair- Individual-Share). T24S consist of four phases- Think, Pair, Four in group and Share phase.
In phase "four in group phase", two pairwork together to complete the task. So this T24S activity is considered to solve the Type1 examples. I n T 2 1 S , students work in the group of four to solve the problem statement. Next, teams split into pair to work on the same problem statement. Finally pair breaks up and student work individually to complete the task followed by sharing of the problem statement solution with the class. Such T21S activity is employed for solving the Type 2 problem statements.We conducted pre-post single group study for three learning objectives (LOs) as (1) solve the simple problem statement (LO1), (2) solve the complex problem statement of Type1 (LO2) and (3) solve the complex problem statement of Type2 (LO3). It is found that TPS, T24S and T21S methods are useful for satisfying LO1, LO2 and LO3 respectively.The objective of this study is to improve the problem solving skill of students. In this study, we are presenting the results obtained along with feedback about TPS, T24S and T21S.

Open educational resources (OER) are free and openly licensed educational materials. It can be used for teaching, learning, research work and other purposes. OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) defines this OER as "digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students, and selflearners to use and reuse for teaching, learning, and research. OER includes learning content, software tools to develop, use, and distribute content, and implementation resources such as open licences."
Types of open educational resources include: full courses, course materials, modules, learning objects, open textbooks, openly licensed videos, tests, software, and other tools, materials etc. OER may be freely and openly available static resources and dynamic resources.
We have developed "Open Education Resource (OER): CProgramming Handout based Lab Session using MOODLE". It consists of C-Programming Lab handouts for First Year Engineering students which contains the useful guidelines for implementing the program problem statements in the lab session. Practise problem statements are given in the each handout. Students practise those problem statements in lab session and submit on the MOODLE for assessment purpose. At the end of each lab session, the quiz will conducted on the MOODLE on the topic covered in the lab session. Since this OER is related to the C-Programming, any faculty or students from any stream can use this OER. We are going to use this OER for the students of First Year Engineering Program for CProgramming course in Semester II.

Free and open-source software (FOSS) is computer software which is freely licensed software to use, copy, study, and change the software in any way. FOSS can also be used for teaching the course. We have designed an activity FOSS Based Learning (FBL). In FBL, instructor uses the free open source software to teach the topic and problem solving based on that topic. In this work, CPU-OS Simulator as FOSS is used. This tool can be used for conceptual understanding of various topics of Operating System, Compiler Construction, System Programming and Computer Architecture. In this particular study, FBL is used for studying and evaluating the performance of scheduling algorithms in Operating System course for Computer Science and Engineering students. The results of teaching this topic using FBLis presented in this paper. For this study, one group pre-post test method is considered with three learning objectives (LOs) (1) To draw Gantt chart for four scheduling algorithms(LO1) (2) To calculate waiting time for individual process and average waiting time, for four scheduling algorithms (LO2) and (3) To calculate average turnaround time for four scheduling algorithms (LO3). Also the students' feedback about this FBL is also given in this paper.Keywords

While studying various engineering courses, we often come across two types of problem statements: Simple problems which are possible to solve within two stepswhereas Complex one are those which required more than two steps to solve. Further in complex type of problem statement, there are two types: Type 1- Complexity is less initially and increases as we proceed further and Type 2- Complexity is more initially and it decreases for further steps. In the present study, we considered the active learning strategies to solve these types of problem statement. For this study, Theory of Computation course of Second Year Computer Science and Engineering is considered.
Think-Pair-Share (TPS) is a well known active learning strategy in which students work on a problem posed by instructor, first individually (Think), then in pairs (Pair) and finally together with the entire class (Share).TPS is considered for Simple type of problem statement.
After implementing TPS frequently, we have modified the TPS activity in such a way that it can be used to solve theType1 andType2 problem statements as mentioned above. The modified active learning strategies are renamed T24S (Think-Pair-Four in Group-Share) and T21S (Team-Pair-Individual- Share). T24S consist of four phases- Think, Pair, Four in group and Share phase. In phase "four in group phase", two pair work together to complete the task. So this T24S activity is considered to solve the Type1 examples.
In T21S, students work in the group of four to solve the problem statement. Next, teams split into pair to work on the same problem statement. Finally pair breaks up and student work individually to complete the task followed by sharing of the problem statement solution with the class. Such T21S activity is employed for solving the Type 2 problem statements.
We conducted pre-post single group study for three learning objectives (LOs) as (1) solve the simple problem statement (LO1), (2) solve the complex problem statement of Type1 (LO2) and (3) solve the complex problem statement of Type2 (LO3). It is found that TPS,T24S and T21S methods are useful for satisfying LO1, LO2 and LO3 respectively. The objective of this study is to improve the problem solving skill of students.
In this study, we are presenting the results obtained along with feedback about TPS, T24S and T21S.

Using various active learning strategies namely Think-Pair-Share, Peer-Instruction, Debate, Jigsaw, Problem based Learning, Game based Learning, Project based Learning, Team-Pair-Solo, etc, we engage the students in learning process. Role play is an activity where students perform the real time case study, to express the concept. Looking to efforts required, it is recommended to opt for the animated role play through effective video for demonstration. In the present study, we considered the newly designed activity using Animated Role Play Immediate Group Discussion followed by Sharing in the classroom (aRPiGDs). In this activity, instructor creates animated role play video and plays that video in the class. Entire class is further divided into a group of 7-8 students for studying role play and to identify the pro and cons of various methods. After discussion, each group shares their findings in the form of pros and cons on the topic. This activity is experimented for the course Operating System of Third Year Computer Science and Engineering. Feedback from the students at the end of the activity is taken to assess their learning through aRPiGDs.Keywords

To design any software, students should have the knowledge about the fundamentals of programming language.C - Programming language is important and basic language for all engineering disciplines. It is also prerequisite for other programming languages like C++, Java, C# etc. In present study, we have designed an educational material which is available in the form of Open Educational Resources (OER). OER is teaching, learning and research material that is available freely to reuse, redistribute, remix, retain and revise. Our OER consist of study material like power point presentations, videos, assignments, practice problem statement and quiz in the form of Moodle back up file (.mbz). In the present study, we present how to restore Moodle backup file and how to use this OER at instructor as well as student side. Here OER implementation for Advanced C Concepts, results and feedback are discussed.Keywords

Think-Pair-Share(TPS) is a well known active learning strategy in which students work on the problem posed by the instructor, first individually, then in pair and finally together with the class. TPS develops technical and soft skill and promotes confidence, self learning & critical thinking ability. TPS consist of three phases: Think, Pair and Share phase, so this activity is not suitable for complex problem requiring more than two students to work in group to complete the task. Hence in this current study, TPS activity is modified and I renamed the activity as T24S (Think-Pair-Four in Group-Share) activity. T24S consists of four phases: Think, Pair, Four in Group and Share. In phase “Four in group”, each pre-assigned pair team up with another pair creating a team of four students, they share their answer and work together to complete the task. In this paper, how T24S method can be used for the Theory of Computation of Second Year, System Programming and Compiler Construction of Third Year Computer Science and Engineering course is explained. To test the effectiveness of this T24S over TPS activity, two group post-test only method for the course Compiler Construction of Third Year Computer Science and Engineering is considered. The Learning Objectives (LOs) are – 1) Compute the FIRST set for the given context free grammar (CFG). (LO1), 2) Compute the FIRST set for the given context free grammar (CFG). (LO2) and 3) Construct the parsing table for LL(1) grammar (LO3). For control group TPS activity was considered after blackboard teaching while for experimental group, T24S activity was considered after blackboard teaching. Statistical analysis using t-Test and Mann Whitney test shows that statistically significant performance on a post-test is observed for the experimental group as compared to the control group. Also the feedback about the T24S activity was also conducted to check the students’ perception about this activity.Keywords
