Educational technology has attained significant importance as a mechanism forsupporting experiential learning of science concepts. However, the growth ofthis mechanism is limited by the significant time and technical expertiseneeded to develop such products, particularly in specialized fields of science.We sought to test whether interactive, educational, online software modules canbe developed effectively by students as a curriculum component of an advancedscience course. We discuss a set of fifteen such modules developed by HarvardUniversity graduate students to demonstrate various concepts related toastronomy and physics. Their successful development of these modulesdemonstrates that online software tools for education and outreach onspecialized topics can be produced while simultaneously fulfillingproject-based learning objectives. We describe a set of technologies suitablefor module development and present in detail four examples of modules developedby the students. We offer recommendations for incorporating educationalsoftware development within a graduate curriculum and conclude by discussingthe relevance of this novel approach to new online learning environments likeedX
