Visionlearning

Visionlearning is a new educational resource for faculty and students. Funded by the National Science Foundation, Visionlearning provides high-quality science learning modules that have been shown to be more effective than traditional textbooks in teaching science. You can view our library of modules or find out more about the project.

I am the Earth and Environmental Sciences Editor, and I have written the following modules:

• Plate Tectonics I: The Evidence for a Geologic Revolution
• Plate Tectonics II: Plates, plate boundaries, and driving forces
• Earth Structure: A virtual journey to the center of the earth
• The Rock Cycle: Uniformitarianism and recycling
• The Hydrologic Cycle: Water's journey through time
• Earth's Atmosphere: Composition and structure
• Minerals I: Definitions
• Minerals II: Properties
• Minerals III: The Silicates
• Visualizing scientific data: An essential component of research
