On-Ramps for more effective teaching in tectonics![OnRamps.jpg](https://higherlogicdownload.s3.amazonaws.com/GEOSOCIETY/5476131f-e258-4c09-92b4-c4f5a44bf646/UploadedImages/Images/OnRamps.jpg)
Do you want to engage students more actively in your structural geology and tectonics courses but aren’t sure where to start or how to make it work well? The
NSF-funded On-Ramps Project has developed 2-page quick-start guides that include tips for implementing a particular teaching strategy plus examples and links to additional resources. The first set of On-Ramps covers interactive lecture, brainstorming, concept sketches, jigsaws, discussions, quantitative skill-building, just-in-time approaches, and case studies.
