April 2016 marks the end of funding for our two-year UBC Flexible Learning project aimed at cross-fertilizing the best from f2f and distance learning versions of courses. The project is described briefly both here and here. The courses most impacted were eosc326, eosc116, and eosc118.

Starting May 2016 our focus on f2f and DE learning will shift towards our new TLEF project “Development of cost effective strategies for teaching, learning and assessing scientific reasoning abilities in large face-to-face and distance education general science courses“.
