And they’re non-science majors taking an online class. Habitable Worlds , an introductory science course that Arizona State University professor Ariel Anbar has taught online for five years. And he’s working with a network of faculty who are using HabWorlds to teach science on their campuses. Welcome to.

Many faculty see introductory science courses as "gateway" classes to weed out students. How do we maximize their learning?" UC Davis has been piloting adaptive-learning software from the Open Learning Initiative in its introductory biology classes to create more active-learning environments than a standard lecture hall.

She referenced three examples of creative uses by IDEO U students, from Jess in Melbourne, who formed her own in-person local learning circle to employees at an architecture firm in Italy who used a prototyping leader’s guide to help them work on a common project during their weekly happy hours.

EdSurge: You were doing adaptive learning before it was cool. Thille: The Open Learning Initiative, which is the project that I founded at Carnegie Mellon, started with a desire from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to get access to high-quality post-secondary education to those who would not otherwise have access.

Thille: I am a big believer in using the data that we're abstracting from student work to benefit and support students in their learning, so we're highly alike about that. I work in a slightly different level than the work that Civitas works on, though, with the Open Learning Initiative. They must be transparent.

A successful approach to inquiry-based learning takes students from the structured beginnings to a more open learning style. Conceptualization: Students spend time researching and learning more about their chosen topic. Presentations can include science demonstrations, slideshows, videos, or oral presentations.

There are widespread beliefs about the best way to teach and learn that have been proven wrong by science, yet they persist.

Cambridge, MA— MIT is in the midst of a $1-billion effort to reshape how it teaches computer science, in what some say may be a model for other colleges. First is that MIT needs far more computer-science professors to meet the demand by students and researchers. I think students will soon all learn English, Spanish and Python.”
