TEACHActive is an automated feedback dashboard that provides instructors with visual classroom analytics about the active learning facilitation strategies they use in their classrooms. We describe TEACHActive system's root requirement of improving pedagogical practices through refection, the system's process of data fow from an automated observation system, EduSense, to the feedback dashboard, and the technical design of the infrastructure. We designed the TEACHActive dashboard to visualize EduSense's automated observation output and give instructors feedback about their active learning facilitation strategies in their classrooms with the goal of improving their pedagogical practices. We present the TEACHActive prototype development process with three illustrative prototypes. CCS CONCEPTS• Applied computing → Interactive learning environments; • Human-centered computing → Interaction design; Interaction design process and methods; User centered design.

Engineering educators call for a widespread implementation of hybrid instruction to respond to rapidly changing demands of 21st Century 1 . In response to this call, a junior-level course in the Construction Engineering department entitled Construction Equipment and Heavy Construction Methods was converted into a hybrid instruction model. The overarching goal in the hybrid course development was to take the content that can be engaged outside the class to an online platform so that class time can be used more efficiently for authentic, realistic, open-ended problems and homework assignments. This study reports the design, development and evaluation of this hybrid course and provides practical implications for hybrid course development.
