Following is an example of a page from a course that is explaining the Law of the Conservation of Energy using three unique examples, thus using the concept of multimodal instruction to increase student understanding. The first example is a video in which the instructor uses potato chips and a lawn mower to explain and demonstrate how energy is neither created nor destroyed, but is instead changed to become useless to us.

To build verbal communication skills, student engagement, and a sense of community, Orientation to Energy and Sustainability Policy, EMSC 302, includes a discussion assignment that requires students to participate in a recorded video conference with one or two other students

Guest speakers can provide additional perspectives, improve comprehension of theoretical frameworks, foster critical thinking, and help bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application.
