Abstract
This open pedagogy assignment is a semester-long project for an introductory general biology course for biology majors. Working in pairs or small groups, students will make a 3 to 5 minute video explaining concepts from the course learning objectives. Students will apply a creative commons license and publish their videos on CUNY Academic Works (or another appropriate platform), where they will be available to future introductory biology students as learning resources.
Learning outcomes:
At the end of this project, students will be able to do the following:
- Effectively teach a concept from the course to a general audience
- Identify and correctly cite appropriate sources for a scientific presentation (both text and images), including at least one primary source
- Work collaboratively with peers to create something more than an individual could on their own
- Incorporate your unique perspective and relate your background to the course topics
- Provide constructive feedback to peers
