Link to class resources
1) The modules fostered engagement and invited exploration.
2) More classroom time was devoted to active learning, discussion of controversies, and problem solving (both individual and team-based).
3) Students were more accountable, came to class better prepared, and asked more and better questions.
4) Students appreciated access via computer, smart phone, iPad, etc.
5) Students viewed the modules as making an important contribution to their learning. A mid-course evaluation indicated that 98% of the students strongly agreed (75%) or agreed (23%) that the online modules are a significant aid to learning.
Results
• LOVED the online sessions. Pre-and post-quizzes forced me to keep up in a really good way.
• Prof. LaMorte's learning modules and PPTs are so comprehensive! Weekly pre-class and post-class problem sets were VERY helpful in solidifying concepts. This class is designed for you to succeed.
• Online modules were excellent! They were interactive and provided me with strong foundation for the material. Although it was a lot of work, the pre and post quizzes strongly reinforced material learned in class. Additionally, the pre-quizzes motivated me to read the modules before class.
• I really enjoyed the use of online modules as a preview for what was to come in class. The reiteration online and then in person contributed to having the knowledge 'stick.‘
• The modules were invaluable! Absolute life savers! Clear and uncomplicated.
• The modules were especially useful.
