Rich-media for Student Engagement in the Online Course: FS 201 - “Food Science and the Consumer” [Tuesday]

Food Science is a broad discipline in which students must have a good understanding of chemistry, microbiology, and engineering, as well as business management and food product marketing. FS201, “Food Science and the Consumer” is a course designed to take the fear out of the needed science and show that learning (even about chemistry) can be interesting and fun. Filmed demonstrations, narrated presentations, podcasts, hyperlinks, recorded guest speakers, invited “personalities” such as Chuck Overboard, serious news commentator, Dirk Selzum, The Infommercial King, and Dr. Zuper-Brainy, mad scientist are all components of this DE version of a very popular face-to-face Food Science course. This presentation will explore the challenges and show the successes of capturing the teaching style of a dynamic teacher who uses many “personalities” in his face-to-face class. In addition, we will show how these various components were integrated together and presented using Moodle as the LMS.
