Experiences on teaching astrobiology in Baja California: from classical lectures to MOOCs
Abstract
We present our experiences teaching the course Astrobiology 101 to BSc students from different majors in Baja California, Mexico (Northwestern). Motivation, description and evolution of the course, from a ``classical'' approximation to the project of a Spanish MOOC are presented. Relationship with some research areas as well as experimental exercises have lead to improvement of the student's performance. We expect to use the MOOC in the course, but to also share it freely with all the spanish speakers through the web.
