Active Learning Grant Recipients from 1995 and 1996 recently reflected on the development of their projects.
Every lecture is assigned a page with links to explanatory imagery and sample problems.
Pages also support each lab. The web site provides the core of the final lab exercise, a weather project for which students, working collaboratively, collect and analyze their own data and integrate it with weather maps and satellite imagery to describe and explain local weather for a three-day period. Since its implementation in the 1996-97 school year, the site has been used by other G109 instructors. Grimmond is currently working with the School of Continuing Studies and the Center for Excellence in Education to devise a distance-learning version of the course. Grimmond believes that the formal integration of the web has been one of the most successful changes she's ever implemented in G109.
