Now educators and learners can collaborate and interact with experts and other learners worldwide in countries and cultures they once could only read about. The internet has also given diverse digital learners a voice in what they want to learn and how they prefer to learn it. In many diverse learning environments, instructors are following suit. Here’s an example using project-based learning. Dr. Jackson taught an undergraduate course in environmental science, and the topic was how hurricanes form. The learners lived and attended college in the Midwest. To be successful, Dr. Jackson had to provide a way for them to engage and have their voices heard. In a pre-course discussion, one learner asked, “Why do we have to learn this stuff?” Another learner expressed excitement about the topic because they had lived in New Orleans and had firsthand knowledge and experiences to share. Others in the class adopted a wait-and-see perspective. Using the smartboard and an interactive video, Dr. Jackson showed the damaging effects of a recent hurricane. The learner with personal experience lit up at the opportunity to share how their family survived Hurricane Barry in 2019. Following the introduction of hurricanes with the video, learners selected and moved to one of the groups Dr. Jackson had set up. Group A: weather-related natural disasters; Group B: hurricanes in history; Group C: careers in meteorology. Through the self-selection of the group, Dr. Jackson provided each learner an outlet for their voices, producing a higher level of engagement in the topic. Each group was provided technology tools to explore the topic independently and as a small group. Each learner individually identified their motivation for learning. Group A was tasked with the exploration of weather-related natural disasters. They used virtual reality headsets to investigate the destructive effects of various types of weather. Once they completed their virtual learning, they used their laptops and a graphic design platform to produce infographics to share with the class. Each graphic depicted different strategies to prepare for various disastrous weather conditions. NOTES

Each learner determined the departments of the center they wanted to see and the order of exploration. As their ultimate project, the group created a video describing major hurricanes over the years, how they were named, and NOAA’s role in the various events; shared the video with the class; and hosted a class discussion. Group C explored careers in meteorology. This group used collaborative skills to decide on a meteorologist to invite to virtually attend the class and participate in an interview. Group C members also developed 10 potential questions to share with the class to generate additional items. In this example, the learners had an active voice in their learning. They were active participants. Consider: How can we do things differently? What can we substitute if we don't have access to the technology tools available in Dr. Jackson's learning environment? The first step is to explore emerging technologies. Then, develop the methodology from there.
