  • Housing Chickens: How Much Space is Enough?

    Creator:

    Bouwma, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    Writing within Discipline is a pedagogical model that aims to engage students in active learning and to develop critical thinking and writing skills within the norms of a particular discipline. However, lack of faculty time for grading writing products impedes its broader implementation. Web based peer review programs have been...

  • Potential for Experiential Education in Distance Learning Contexts

    Creator:
    Hommel, Demian
    Abstract:
    The literal distance inherent in online education can be an important difference between it and traditional classroom settings, such that proximate, on-site learning is thought to be where experiential, transformative education happens (Cohen, 2013). Yet it is possible that some of the most compelling, effective aspects of traditional, proximate education...

  • The Online Learning Community: Friend or Faux?

    Creator:
    Nolan, Mary and Kellar, Brenda
    Abstract:
    Everyone involved in online education talks about community – what is it, how is it created, do students really want it? Most researchers now agree that online education is enhanced through a greater sense of community within the online classroom; however, the factors that make for a substantive and quality...

    Creator:
    Nyman, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Teacher preparation programs must ensure that course and clinical work provide a solid practice and theoretical foundation upon which new teachers can grow and thrive.

  • Impacting the Inclusivity Mindset of Online Computer Science Students

    Creator:
    Letaw, Lara and Garcia, Heather
    Abstract:
    While online Computer Science (CS) degree programs can attract diverse students, many students still feel excluded in the online CS classroom. One reason students feel excluded is because their gender is underrepresented among their classmates. At Oregon State University, only 27% of online CS students are women. This is better...

  • Perceptions of Sexual Health Websites by Low Income Urban African American Youth and Service Providers

    Creator:
    Williams, Dacia R.
    Abstract:
    Low-Income urban African American (LIU-AA) youth are at high risk for HIV/STIs and adolescent pregnancy. Sexual health websites (SHWs) offer an inexpensive, easy-to-disseminate, and potentially highly-accessible method of improving sexual health knowledge, awareness, and help-seeking. The present study examined engagement regarding sexual health websites for at-risk, LIU-AA youth. We conducted...

    Abstract:
    I am a physics education researcher. My ‘laboratory’ is a year-long Introductory Algebrabased Physics sequence taught at Oregon State University (OSU). While not technically a hybrid class, it has most of the aspects of a hybrid learning environment, as the course is “flipped,” and includes a combination of pre-lecture online...

    Creator:
    Finch, Kristen N.
    Abstract:
    Biodiversity loss is of global concern, and is due in part to deforestation and high consumer demand for wood and wood products. The neotropical tree species Cedrela odorata (“Spanish cedar” or “cedro”) is economically valuable for its wood and faces threats of overexploitation. Due to strong similarities in wood features...

    Abstract:
    Night is an extraordinary resource. Unlike air, water, or soil, nighttime is a spatio-temporal phenomenon, which leads to many crucial roles. It provides refuge to wildlife species, triggers hormonal and behavioral responses among a wide variety of organisms, and serves as an essential migratory backdrop for species that navigate by...
