2018 ASHS Annual Conference

Planning, development, and execution of a distance section for a high-enrollment introductory horticulture course. Course content includes plant morphology, plant physiology, metabolic processes, and general horticultural applications in the green industry. Overview of videoing mini lectures, developing interactive learning modules, graphics and animation development, and anticipating future accessibility requirements. The face-to-face course meets university CORE science requirements and thus most enrollees are non-majors. The presenter will provide the project budget, including costs of animation and graphics development and projected annual income from online differential tuition. Tips and tricks for meeting current accessibility requirements and suggestions for accessible assessment activities will be covered.
