New Course at WJU Offers Graduate Credit for Moon Study -Huntington News HNN
A new race to the Moon is shaping up, and educators and outreach professionals can prepare themselves through a graduate-level online course to be offered through the Center for Educational Technologies® at Wheeling Jesuit University. To the Moon will offer participants information about the Moon, the many new missions heading there, and ways to use the excitement of exploration in science education. Japan and China will launch their robotic spacecraft to the Moon this fall, and India and NASA will launch lunar orbiters next year. This eight-week course, which starts Sept. 24, 2007, will be offered entirely online, making it convenient for busy teachers, planetarium and science center workers, NASA outreach staff, after-school educators, the media and anyone else who wants to use the excitement of current space exploration to impact learning by students and the public. The course will use an Internet wiki for communication and sharing. Each week will include readings, discussions, activities evaluations and observing.
