What the VAK with Marine Science?: A Workshop to Put You in Students’ Shoes

During the 2016 European Marine Science Educators Association (EMSEA) annual conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the midst of a series of presentations and workshops that were focused primarily on efforts to bring the concept of Ocean Literacy to European institutions and general public, a workshop was presented that was meant to educate, motivate, and entertain. This workshop, called What the VAK? (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) with Marine Science—A Multisensory Approach to Marine Education, literally had everyone in the room out of their seats participating actively in the dual role of teacher and learner.
