Abstract:
Modifications to modules and assessments, such as pre- and post-tests and graded quizzes, were made based on the piloting of a one-credit co-requisite online course that paralleled Geology 101 at Highline Community College. Initial assessment of the modules used in conjunction with a geoscience course suggests that some students continue to need close supervision and face-to-face support. Student comments emphasize the need for transparency about the purpose of completing the modules and thorough integration between course content and modules. We introduce several new modules designed to make integration easier by providing multiple opportunities for both faculty and students to use quantitative skills in the context of geology. Because this project should be useful to a significant number of educators, new module topics were based on results of a worldwide survey in which faculty were asked to select topics most relevant to their course(s). Faculty have a variety of options for implementing these modules as a part of a geoscience course, from using one module to integrating all modules into a single course or offering a shadow online course. We will share several ideas about options for using these modules and ways to adapt them to fit your course and your students.
