Dr. Bralower on online education
Over the 33 years that I have been a professor, the Earth Sciences have been transformed by issues related to the future sustainability of our planet. The way students learn has also changed radically, teaching technology has been revolutionized and online education has become a powerful way of educating non-traditional students. I’ve really enjoyed developing online materials that are active and problem-based, with content that is increasingly centered on Earth challenges and their solutions.
