The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.
This github repository provides materials for a turn-key, general-education level, interdisciplinary eclipse course. It is designed to help prepare for the Apr 8, 2024 total eclipse.
Available in the repository are more than 400 slides, 7 multiple choice quizzes, and 14 video-recorded lectures of 50' each. The slides can be edited for local use, and the material can be used any way an instructor desires. The goal is to further education about the eclipse, and eclipses in general.
A 6 page manuscript describing the course is provided.
Free to use, but users should contact the author to keep records of where the course was taught and how many students took it, for a future publication.
