ENV 519 was taught online with streaming video, audio, and slide presentations to allow a classroom-like experience with real-time interaction between students and the professor. Cloud-based recordings of lectures were available to any students unable to attend the virtual classes in real-time. All students were required to give class presentations using the platform, giving them experience as content providers and consumers.
