Integrating Learning Objects into D2L to Promote Student Learning of Difficult Scientific Concepts Murat Kahveci and Timothy French (College of Science and Health) This presentation will introduce a valid and reliable method to effectively develop and easily deploy learning objects (i.e. SCORMs) in context of a physical chemistry course at DePaul University. The pedagogical method for developing the learning objects relies on Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE) principles. The deployment platform for the learning objects is D2L, in the context of an upper-level chemistry course (CHE302, Quantum Chemistry) at DePaul University.
Alternative Assessment Method in Biochemistry Education: Graphical Representation of Oxygen Binding and Delivery Murat Kahveci and Lihua Jin (College of Science and Health) Conceptual understanding is one of the essential levels of understanding in biochemistry. This workshop focuses on how to measure students’ conceptual understanding in the context of an undergraduate biochemistry course at DePaul University. Development stages of a two-tier diagnostic instrument will be introduced in the context of oxygen binding and delivery in the body.
