This multifaceted study would not have been possible without help from many people on and off the project team. As part of the team at various times, we greatly appreciate the intellectual contributions made by Jody Clarke-Midura, Jenna Conversano, and Eric Klopfer, administrative help from Evelyne Tschibelu and Carol Burke, and the many people at SimBiotic Software involved in putting together the special versions of UED used here including Steve Allison-Bunell, Eric Harris, Josh Quick, Derek Stal, Eleanor Steinberg, and Jennifer Wallner. We also thank our advisory board of Ross Nehm, Ryan Baker, and Kathryn Perez. We thank the editor for a heroic statistical review and two anonymous reviewers who provided feedback that greatly improved the manuscript. Outside the team we extend a special thanks to the many instructors and students who took part in the study. This material is based upon work supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.-1227245 and while serving at the National Science Foundation.
