Advancing Digital and Online Education in the Earth and Space Sciences

Session ID#: 85509

Session Description:
The availability of new data and technology has provided new avenues for learning science and teaching methods in classrooms and virtual environments by students, faculty, and professionals. A wide variety of resources are now online or in development. Similarly new collaborative teaching models are emerging to provide flexibility in traditional and short course offerings at multiple universities and other institutions. This can leverage a broader range of expertise to deliver educational content, provide options not available locally, and improve outcomes. This session seeks contributions from researchers, creators, educators, and administrators outlining efforts and learning outcomes in developing new resources and teaching models in Earth and Space Sciences (including ecology, climate, environmental, and planetary sciences). Relevant efforts include, but are not limited to, online education, Open Educational Resources (OER) and other digital teaching/learning resources, professional development, and collaborative teaching experiences.
