A Successful Model for Retaining Freshmen Students Using Online Learning Modules [Asynchronous]

Internet-based learning modules were developed for freshman introductory biology courses at NCATSU. The learning modules provided a platform to help students excel in higher-level biology courses by improving pedagogy and science learning experiences. Hence, this project provided significant capacity to build a technology-linked dynamic learning environment. Also the instructors were able to learn how to teach with wireless technology using handheld computers and laptop computers. The online learning module initiative significantly expanded our existing efforts to promote collaborative learning, and shared discovery with students interested in pursuing graduate study and biomedical careers. The results proved to us that web-based materials can significantly add to traditional lecture format, and give us the confidence to explore new ways to utilize class time.
