Abstract Detail
Blended Learning and Educational Technology to enhance Biology Jakubec, Melissa [1], Harrison, Michelle [1]. Blended Strategies for Science Instruction. As instructional designers we face the challenge of providing laboratory experiences for our learners completing courses at a distance. We will describe our experiences creating opportunities for learners to engage in inquiry-based learning through online, field, and home-based laboratory experiences. Using blogs to document and share field studies in ecology, remotely accessing chemistry equipment, and completing experiments through lab kits while studying at a distance are all ways we can create engaging experiences that meet required learning outcomes for science. We will also share multi-media pieces developed for Plants and Society, as well as Immunology courses, that can enrich any learners experience.
