Using Technology, Comedy, and Big Questions to Drive Student Learning - Lev Horodyskyj, Arizona State University – Cente

Online science courses can be bland and uninspired, often driven by learning outcomes, standards, and lists of items to master, often delivered in a standard package of videos and quizzes. Is there a better way of designing an online learning experience? I will discuss how lessons from gaming, movie making, and pedagogy can converge to create an inspiring learning experience using examples from two projects, “Habitable Worlds” and “Build a Nation,” while also discussing shortfalls and directions for the future.
