Evaluating the effectiveness of online instruction for building an “at-home” aquaponics system
This study explores the development of an online educational tutorial for aquaponics, aiming to refine instructional design for future research and teaching.The overarching goal is to help academics understand the accessibility of knowledge and the delivery methods of aquaponics information in an online medium.By structuring an effective online learning method, this research seeks to empower diverse learners to engage with aquaponics as a viable method for food production and environmental management.The project evaluates the educational effectiveness of tutorials through surveys assessing student comprehension, engagement, and ease of implementation.Findings will inform future instructional design improvements and contribute to the broader field of online education for aquaponics.
