My First MOOC: A New Year’s Resolution Revisited Posted by: bodewedl / August 25, 2015 August 25, 2015 By Dana Bodewes, Instructional Designer In January, I enrolled in my first MOOC to learn more about this controversial form of instruction.  It was definitely valuable, both for instructional design research and as a learning experience. The course was designed around five basic elements: video lectures, readings, weekly online quizzes, discussion boards, and video recorded “office hours

March 9, 2009 NMR is no longer under wraps It looks like a rather fat, squat water heater. A water heater with a $743,000 price tag. But to the professors of PLU’s chemistry department, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is a dream come true. It’s easy to see they still can’t quite believe, after 2 years of waiting and receiving a National Science Foundation grant they didn’t expect to get, that it’s finally here. After being hidden behind tarps and plywood, it’s now in full display on
