Flexible Learning in CHEM 121

The Flexible Learning project in chemistry was piloted this fall in CHEM 121. In one section of this large-enrollment first year course, the newly developed online and in-class materials were fully implemented and assigned for course credit, while the online resources remained available for students in all sections to access at their own pace. In this session, we will share with you some of the things we learned through the design and implementation of the Flexible Learning resources, including: Challenges and benefits of having different teaching strategies across course sections Streamlining the selection and creation of new resources What factors influenced student access of the online resources Assessment of the resources and implementation Lessons to carry forward to next year and to CHEM 123 You will also have an opportunity to engage with some of the resources we have created, and investigate some of the challenges discovered along the way, as they apply to your own context.
