Blending the Classroom to Allow Student Research with Online Publication
Channel: Blended Learning in the Liberal Arts
Date: 06/06/2018

Blending a course can create class time for students to perform independent research culminating in student-peer-reviewed publications that are searchable and available online in perpetuity. By creating online learning resources and online exchange forums, students in Wheaton College (MA) science courses participate in all the stages of research from hypothesis formation, thru experimentation to data analysis, paper writing, student-peer-review, and publication. The blended setting allows students to create quality preliminary research that becomes a resource for their job searches and a legacy for future students. Students show high engagement in, and express great enthusiasm for, these authentic research experiences
