商品描述
Astronomy is a popular subject for non-science majors in the United States, often representing a last formal exposure to science. Nationwide, more than half of all college students take at least one class online each year. In addition, there has been a rapid growth in Massive Open Online Classes (MOOCs), where adult learners take an online class for enrichment rather than for credit towards a degree. For both formal and informal learners, online course delivery is becoming increasingly important, and the resources for instructors have not kept up with this rapid change. This book aims to fill that need, with advice on all the tools and resources that are suitable for online classes. The book's purpose is to bring astronomy instructors up to speed on the best ways to create and teach an online astronomy class, for traditional college students and for distributed audiences of lifelong learners. Instructors of these courses will see articles on the online use of real and virtual telescopes, simulations and applets, and tools that adapt to the learner. Each chapter is written by an academic who is adept in teaching online classes to diverse audiences.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
天文學在美國是非科學專業學生中一個受歡迎的科目，通常代表著他們最後一次正式接觸科學。全國範圍內，超過一半的大學生每年至少上一次線上課程。此外，大規模開放線上課程（MOOCs）也迅速增長，成人學習者參加線上課程以獲得知識，而非學位學分。對於正式和非正式的學習者來說，線上課程的提供變得越來越重要，但針對教師的資源卻未能跟上這一快速變化。本書旨在填補這一需求，提供有關適合線上課程的所有工具和資源的建議。本書的目的是幫助天文學教師掌握創建和教授線上天文學課程的最佳方法，無論是針對傳統的大學生，還是面向分散的終身學習者。這些課程的教師將看到有關實際和虛擬望遠鏡的線上使用、模擬和小應用程式，以及適應學習者的工具的文章。每一章都是由擅長教授多元受眾的線上課程的學者撰寫。
