Abstract

There has been a shift to offering more STEM courses in a variety of different modalities. The benefit to offering courses in different modalities has the potential to reach a wider student audience. As a result of the pandemic this forced many individuals to pivot to an online platform and into emergency remote teaching. The following study will focus on novel multimedia that were created as a result of the pandemic for an introductory geology course that was originally taught face-to-face but has moved to a permeant online course. This study takes place at the University of Central Florida a large research institution. The lecture videos were created specifically for this course and used novel multimedia instruction to engage students and increase their perception and interest in geology. The following presentation will explore the construction of these videos along with engagement and student’s perception of instruction of the course.
