RCN-UBE: A Network for Facilitating Online Content for Experiential Learning of Tropical Systems

Sonoma State University (SSU) will create a series of four “Live from the Field” (LFTF) events that target OCELOTS objectives. Working with OCELOTS, CEI will modify the existing TVF LFTF format to increase engagement in OCELOTS modules of MSI instructors and students. SSU will additionally update an existing student survey to better incorporate OCELOT learning goals. The survey will be designed to allow faculty to use the survey independently to assess the impacts of the experience on their students. In addition, SSU will prepare an umbrella IRB that will allow survey results to be compiled, reported and potentially published.
