Earth and Ocean Science: Developing Blended and Distance Education Models
Completed
About
This project aimed to enhance the flexibility, quality and efficiency of learning and delivery for related distance education (DE) and face-to-face (f2f) courses. The approach was to apply current DE best practices to f2f courses, adapt f2f best practices for use online, and introduce new resources and pedagogies that work in both settings. Choosing related sets of courses ensured that learning tools and strategies will be consistent throughout the Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) departmental curricula. DE and f2f courses were chosen based on opportunities to share existing content and research-based instructional strategies in the two modalities.
