SUNYIT IITG Development of an Interactive Case Study

1. SUNYIT IITG Development of an Interactive Case Study Chris Urban PI Glenn Van Knowe CO-PI Bringing reality into the classroom Trying to put learning in a real world context Need to start End 12:35 PM

2. Exercise Overview • Keep in mind that this is a site still in early development and we would like feedback • The site is being designed to be used online with no instructor - but we have ways to go. • Not all of the instructional links work yet • For face-to-face classes, I will provide the "how to" instructions for the exercise (To ESES Overview htmlTo ESES Overview ppt ) Go to http://hss-1.us/1 or http://hss-1.us/1.htm 2
