Open Source, Open Access, Open Science: Transforming Earth and Space Science Education Through Decentralized Design
Session ID#: 161917
Session Description:
Digital tools and platforms increasingly empower educators to become creators, not just consumers, of sophisticated learning resources and experiences that rival or exceed those produced by publishers and other institutions. These resources and experiences can broaden access to high quality Earth and Space science (ESS) learning, as well as enable educators who are historically under-represented or marginalized to create learning experiences that are compelling and effective for a broader new generation of learners. Open-source technologies, open-education resources, and the open science movement are accelerating this transformation toward decentralized design. These experiences may feature advanced media, place-based virtualization, adaptive tutoring, and other approaches that promote best practices, such as enhanced engagement, interaction, and learner agency. This session welcomes contributions from ESS educators and other content creators who develop or make use of open resources and/or technologies, especially in service of diverse audiences.
