Tour: Introduction

Take this self-guided tour to learn more about the courses. Allow three to four minutes, or seven to eight if you choose to watch the video examples.

All courses use an inquiry-based learning model, contain media-rich content, include online discussions covering science topics and teaching and learning strategies, and have videos of actual classroom practice.

  • Course Home Page: Your door into the course. Easy access to course components, including sessions and assignments.
  • Session Index: Expectations outlined. Learning objectives and session outlines take you directly into the session's content.
  • Content Page: The heart of learning. Here's where the content and assignments live. Watch an example of rich media!
  • Classroom Videos: Exemplary practice in action. The section "Putting It into Practice" includes videos of actual classroom practice for modeling. Watch an example!
  • Forum: The meeting place for learners. A community is built around discussion prompts that are either topical or about teaching and learning strategies.
  • Portfolio: Assignment central. Keep track of your assignments here — what's done, what's not.

This tour uses examples from Teaching Elementary Life Science . You'll find all courses, regardless of topic or length, are similar in structure.
