Earth System Science as an Internet Course A Case Study Tamra A. Schiappa Department of Geosciences Idaho Virtual Campus Boise State University

Acknowledgements Idaho Virtual Campus Idaho Technology Incentive Grant Instructional Performance Technology Institute Permian Research Institute, Boise State University

Earth System Science Holistic approach to study of the Earth Emphasizes dynamic interrelationships between atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere Contents address general Earth processes Students develop understanding of interaction between the Earth System and subsystems

Conclusions: Students engaged in this type of science learning: Actively participate in their education Flexible time schedule increased class participation Demonstrated improved writing skills

Advantages Students: Flexible time schedule “Faceless environment” Time to research and think through discussion questions

Advantages Instructors: Flexible time schedule Time to research and think through questions More student - instructor interaction

Disadvantages Instructors, students: Expensive Time-intensive Requires technical, administration support
