  • Using Online Resources to Improve Student Learning, Inside and Outside of the Classroom by Andrew Mamo

    Using Online Resources to Improve Student Learning, Inside and Outside of the Classroom

    Andrew Mamo

    Instructors understand every hour spent in front of the class requires hours of preparation. Instructors are also aware that every hour that our students spend in class requires hours of preparation. The time that our students spend reading and preparing for class may or may not be spent effectively and efficiently. A well-designed LMS course can go far in guiding our students through their class preparation: organizing readings, videos, and other instructional materials; providing guiding questions for student study; offering regular opportunities for assessment; and more. Improved student preparation outside of the classroom contributes to improved participation inside the classroom.

Victor Gensini, associate professor in NIU's Department of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, demonstrates the capabilities of this unique tool utilizing open datasets from NOAA.
