A team-based learning activity is presented that was created to support a university-level course with an integrative theme of environmental sustainability. Students in a General Education "Environmental Biology" course were asked to relate academic concepts to real-world scenarios by creating a hypothetical ecoresort on an island that…

The adoption of a blended learning approach is increasing among higher education institutions with a significant amount of research that focuses on linear relationships. However, there is limited research on how the blended learning environment functions and interacts as a complex system. There is a need for more research that explores the…

Preservice teachers' beliefs and attitudes impact the likelihood they will integrate technology in their future teaching. Consequently teacher preparation programs should provide courses designed to enhance preservice teachers' attitudes and beliefs towards technology use in the classroom. However, many programs instead focusing solely on…
