Arthur, Peter [1].

Strategies to Enhance Student Learning.

The creation of pre-lab videos, open educational resources and two stage exams are strategies to enhance the learning experience for students. To fully utilize lab time, faculty are creating pre-lab videos that provide students with an asynchronous rich media experience that prepares students for labs and reduces the time needed for lab instructions. In addition, instructors are creating and sharing botany related resources with a creative commons license that provide instructors will valuable resources to enhance student learning in and out of the classroom. These open educational resources are slowly being adopted by instructors. Finally, two stage exams provide students with an alternative assessment experience that promotes learning!
