Robert Loeb's Implementation of A Growing Concern
For my online Introductory Soils course I am implementing The Growing Concern Module including Unit 1 Impacts of Land Use; Unit 2 Soil Characteristics & Their Relationship to Land Use Practices; Unit 3 Natural and Agricultural Erosion Rates; Unit 4 Using SoilWeb to Investigate the Soil Beneath You; Unit 5 Predicting the Effects of Climate Change on Soil Loss and Unit 6 Creating an Agricultural "Fact Sheet". In mid-February I will open the first unit and space the following units in two week intervals. I plan to evaluate and modify my implementation as I see the student response (or not if all goes well).
