Below is a summary of the goals and accomplishments for RUN I. Details of what has actually been done are on the right side of the table.

Goals of Planning Grant	Achievements
Design joint course in exercise science	Göteborg: “Biomechanics and Human Motor Performance” Stanford: “Functional Anatomy of Exercise” Courses have identical content goals and similar curricula to allow for differences in cultural context (e.g., no letter grades at Göteborg/ letter grades at Stanford)
Design three storyboards for learning models in exercise science	Landing techniques in volleyball Standing, gait, and running Quadriceps strength and rehabilitation
Develop cooperation between Göteborg and Stanford faculty	Bimonthly web conferences Three exchange visits Joint decisions on curricula SIMM and Qualysis exchange
Develop new technologies	Course blog CMS/LMS Web-hosted lab experiments Web-hosted lectures

Not only were the original goals of RUN I achieved, but additional objectives were also accomplished as listed below

Additional Achievements	Description
Developed new pedagogical model	Cooperative learning Student self-assessment Scaffold matrix Development of research skills
Developed three additional storyboards	Ice Hockey Checking Cross-Country Skiing Pommel Horse
Expanded faculty involvement	Recruiting faculty consultants Cooperation with Karolinska
Focus groups for preliminary data	Stanford: Assess student satisfaction with new pedagogical approach Göteborg: Assess student satisfaction with and feasibility of web-hosted lab experiment Stanford: Assess student satisfaction with and feasibility of interactive web-hosted lectures
Student-generated research	Pommel horse storyboard idea developed by focus group student
Student participation	Recruited athletic teams at Stanford to participate in course experiments Filmed volleyball landing technique
