Ruben Aleman; Karen Vaughan; Kyle Summerfield; Janel Seeley – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
As the use of online education increases, technologies to improve the quality of learning have been improving alongside it. One method of information dissemination is virtual learning environments (VLE), in which educators can tailor digital lessons according to their subject and the needs of their students. For soil science, and field-based…

Rahmani, Shams R.; Mashtare, Michael L.; Schulze, Darrell G.; Camberato, James J.; Johnston, Cliff T.; Fulk-Bringman, Sherry S. – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
Beginning abruptly in the second half of the Spring 2020 semester at Purdue University, we modified our teaching approach in Introductory Soil Science and Forest Soils courses (AGRY 255/270) with a combined annual enrollment of [approximately]370 students to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. In that semester, we went to entirely virtual lecture,…

Schulze, Darrell G.; Rahmani, Shams R.; Minai, Joshua O.; Johnston, Cliff T.; Fulk-Bringman, Sherry S.; Scott, John R.; Kong, Ningning Nicole; Li, Yue Shirley; Mashtare, Michael L., Jr. – Natural Sciences Education, 2021
In response to the coronavirus pandemic in the fall of 2020, we created hybrid-virtual or fully virtual field trips to replace in-person field trips in two courses. For an introductory soil science course with 178 students enrolled, we used a narrative format supported by 360° ground-level and drone photos, newspaper articles, videos, websites,…

Gras, Anna; Cañadas, Juan Carlos; Ginovart, Marta – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2013
This work addresses and aims to fulfill a very clear need in teaching biosystem engineering. When introducing students to the complexity of soil processes, one of the frustrations that teachers often experience is the impossibility to demonstrate practically, in the lab, some of the concepts and processes discussed in class. Either the experiments…

Huber, Thomas P.; Falkenmayer, Karen – Journal of Environmental Education, 1987
Discusses the need for education about soil erosion and advocates the use of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) to show the impacts of human and natural action on the land. Describes the use of a computer simulated version of the USLE in several environmental and farming situations. (TW)

Stringer, W. C.; And Others – Journal of Agronomic Education, 1987
Describes the development of a computer simulation model of forage-beef production systems, which is intended to incorporate soil, forage, and animal decisions into an enterprise scenario. Produces a summary of forage production and livestock needs. Cites positive assessment of the program's value by participants in inservice training workshops.…
