Drs. Kayzar and Manson received a Course Transformation Program grant to build a suite of online, interactive modules for students in the URBS 1001/3001W course as a way to introduce them to the complexities of the cities and metropolitan areas around them. Through a series of video podcasts with urban professionals, online quizzes, and online interactive map projects focused on Twin Cities locations, students gain a better understanding of key urban studies concepts related to urban morphology, connectivity and transit systems, housing provision, and neighborhood and community development.
