Summary

Teaching online is growing in acceptance and its accessibility creates an opportunity to reach students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Active learning, systems thinking, using data, and dealing with complexity are harder to approach in online education, and these difficulties are magnified at larger scales. There is a need to develop and disseminate best practices for teaching about Earth online. Building on current teaching materials and design principles, this webinar will explore Earth Science focused online teaching methods, technologies, and materials. It will also discuss how classroom activities can be adapted and scaled to larger online class sizes.

Goals

By the end of this webinar, participants will:

  • Learn about designing effective activities for online courses
  • Learn about the benefits of different technologies
  • Think about how to scale activities for large class sizes
