ASU to develop online science course with $10M from NASA

By Tara García Mathewson, Education Dive

Arizona State University will get $10.18 million over the next five years from NASA to create a science course that focuses on exploration over simple memorization. Campus Technology reports the courseware will incorporate simulations, virtual field trips, and adaptive learning in a program first designed for independent learners and eventually expected to be applied to a K-12 curriculum. Researchers in ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration will develop a range of learning experiences focused on astrobiology, using content from NASA to bring the course to life.
