HydroLearn.org Web Application

HydroLearn is an education project funded by the National Science Foundation to promote the collaborative development and adoption of active-learning resources in hydrology and water resources engineering. Using the HydroLearn platform, instructors can: Explore existing courses, case studies, and learning activities and use in classrooms, Customize existing courses and learning activities, or build new ones, Share back learning resources for instructors to use, Get guidance on how to develop effective learning outcomes and assessment rubrics. HydroLearn is freely accessible to everyone, but primarily designed for instructors and students including instructors who want to develop, customize and share innovative learning resources in hydrology and water resources and students who want to learn about fundamental and emerging topics in hydrology and water resources engineering using active learning approaches. HydroLearn aims to create a community of users who are interested in adopting innovative active-learning resources in hydrology and water resources engineering. By providing educators with a mechanism for contribution, customization and sharing of educational content, HydroLearn aspires to alleviate existing development and adoption barriers to encourage educators to engage in active-learning innovations. HydroLearn also aims to propagate good pedagogical practices by providing instructors with support on how to develop sound and effective learning activities, learning outcomes and assessment rubrics.HydroLearn是一项由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）资助的教育项目，旨在推动水文学与水资源工程领域主动学习资源的协同开发与推广应用。依托HydroLearn平台，教育工作者可开展如下操作：浏览现有课程、案例研究与学习活动并将其应用于课堂教学；定制既有课程与学习活动，或从零构建全新内容；共享学习资源供其他教育工作者使用；获取关于如何制定高效学习目标与评估量规（assessment rubrics）的专业指导。HydroLearn对所有人群免费开放，但其核心设计面向教育工作者与学生群体：前者可开发、定制并共享水文学与水资源工程领域的创新学习资源，后者则可借助主动学习方法，学习水文学与水资源工程的基础与前沿主题。HydroLearn旨在打造一个致力于采用水文学与水资源工程领域创新主动学习资源的用户社区。通过为教育工作者提供教育内容的贡献、定制与共享机制，HydroLearn期望破解现有开发与应用壁垒，鼓励教育工作者投身主动学习创新实践。此外，HydroLearn还希望通过为教育工作者提供相关支持，推广优质教学实践，助力其制定科学有效的学习活动、学习目标与评估量规。
