Example 1
This Introduction to Oceanography online course uses current events assignments and a group project as course activities and for student interactions. The current events assignments require the students to seek out news about the current state of ocean science, policy, and conservation and to comment on each others findings. The group project requires students to work together by using data sets to compute oceanographic quantities and interpret the results based on what they are learning in class. VoiceThreads, Virtual Classrooms, and Brightspace Group Tools are used for these assignments.
