Student Presentation

Small Boats in Research
Michael Childers, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, mchilder@hawaii.edu

A face to face course is presently offered at UH – Hilo addressing the safe and efficient use of small boats in near shore marine research. The primary goal of this course is to prepare undergraduate students to conduct marine research from small boats. The course is basically divided into two parts. This proposal will explore the delivery of the first part of the course, lectures and exercises via the web. It is thought by delivering these materials via the web, students will have the opportunity to access the instructional materials, for review as needed. The course's typical audience is college freshman or sophomores. It is assumed students enrolling in the course are capable of college level work. Student learning outcomes are measured by graded practical exercises and quizzes. The course will be managed through Laulima with online classes presented via Eluminate. Most of the instructional materials will be provided by the instructor or delivered by material already on the web.
