Critical thinking and scientific reasoning are central to higher education in the United States, but many courses (in-person online) teach students information about science much more than they actual process of its associated knowledge skills. In online arena specifically, tools available for course construction exacerbate this problem by making it difficult build types active learning activities that research shows be most effective. Here, we present a report on Habitable Worlds, offered...
We introduce a novel approach to visualizing temporal clickstream behaviour in the context of degree-satisfying online course, Habitable Worlds, offered through Arizona State University. The current practice for within digital learning environment is generate plots based on hand-engineered or coded features using domain knowledge. While this has been effective relating known phenomena, crafted from knowledge are not likely well suited making unfamiliar phenomena salient and thus can preclude...
Following the growth of online, higher-education courses, academic institutions are now offering fully online degree programs. Yet it is not clear how students who enroll in programs similar to those in-person (“traditional”) Because previous work has shown students’ attitudes toward science can affect their performance a course, valuable ask differ between these two populations. We studied completed astrobiology course. In an analysis 451 student responses Classroom Undergraduate Research...

Active learning is a more effective approach than passive learning, and formats such as role-playing games (RPGs) can be still due to perspective shifting that students undertake during participation.This especially the case for environmental geosciences education, but date, RPGs are sparsely used in this space when they are, tend highly specialized nongeneralizable.Here we will describe Sustainable States, general purpose RPG developed diplomacy education which features objectives Earth...

During 2015, a unique launch opportunity exists that allows for New-Frontiers-class mission to discover compositional gradient of small bodies in our solar system. The proposed seven year includes flyby main belt asteroid (108144) 2001 HM1, and impactor release (a la Deep Impact) at the Trojan (624) Hektor suspected contact binary) with companion P/2006, Centaur 39P/Oterma. variety types positions these will help answer some fundamental questions we have evolution composition Jet Propulsion...
A considerable amount of research on emotions and learning has been undertaken in recent years. Confusion noted as a particularly important emotion it the potential to trigger students’ engagement tasks. However, unresolved confusion may turn into frustration, boredom ultimately disengagement. The study reported this paper investigated whether analytics could be used successfully determine indicators or patterns interactions that associated with simulation-based environment. findings...
