Traditionally, online education has been seen as an underwhelming, ineffectual approximation of its on-campus sibling — defined by micro-correspondence courses that are supplemental to the classroom experience, rather than a viable alternative.
I use the videos as supplemental media in a flipped classroom.
While Instructor 3-MAL used the "Cow Graphs" activity (Supplemental Material 2) in the classroom, an exercise that emphasizes carbon cycling at the ecosystem scale, she did not include an activity that specifically linked cellular respiration to mass change, an organismal-scale phenomenon, perhaps explaining her students' negative gain for this question.
If the teacher identifies a tendency of the class to misunderstand as a whole, they can provide the supplemental instruction in the form of classroom lectures.
Teachers received a supplemental manual in order to help with classroom activities.
Three distinct models emerged from an analysis of these programs: a full-stipend model, in which graduate fellows worked with partner teachers in a K 12 classroom for 2 d/wk; a supplemental stipend model in which fellows worked with teachers for 1 d/wk; and a service-learning model, in which in-classroom activity was integrated into university academic coursework.
The law allows non-science to be snuck into science classrooms by teachers who use supplemental materials to "critique" politically controversial (but not scientifically controversial) theories, including evolution and climate science.
In this program the Scientist in the Classroom Partnership graduate students from four partner universities are paid a supplemental stipend of $7000 in addition to their normal research or teaching assistantship.
This law allows creationism to be snuck into public school science classrooms through a loophole: teachers can bring in unregulated supplemental materials to "critique" evolution and, according to state Senator Ben Nevers, who sponsored the law, it was meant to allow the "scientific data related to creationism should be discussed when dealing with Darwin's theory".
To bring this new science to classrooms, the Genetic Science Learning Center GSLCC) at the University of Utah developed a free curricular supplemental module on epigenetics in collaboration with high school biology teachers and scientists (GSLC, 2012a, b).
