Conceptual Astronomy: A Process Oriented Course

该项目旨在提供一个创新的介绍 天文学课程的非科学专业在非选择性 州立大学。该项目的主旨是设计 这门课的重点是通过识别 并将基本的天文学概念与最低限度的 支持信息。 在一个大型讲座课程，新的 正在测试交付技术，以增加互动 和沟通，使学生发挥积极作用， 让他们接触新材料。 经过测试的集成 包裹应易于运送到其他州立大学 环境.

The project aims to deliver an innovative introductory astronomy course for non-science majors at a non-selective state university. The main thrust of the project is to design a course that focuses on the process of science by identifying and linking essential astronomical concepts with a minimum of supporting information. Within a large lecture course, new delivery technologies are being tested to increase interaction and communications so that students will play an active role to engage them with the new material. The integrated, tested package should be readily transported to other state university environments.
