Description
I am very interested in undergraduate science education, especially at the introductory level. This is such a large problem involving many individuals, which requires communication, networking, and sharing of information and ideas.
Because this RCN-UBE project is completed, I am going to point you toward an active project that also focuses on introductory courses. The national project for the Interactions in General Education Life Science courses (IGELS) is a collaborative network of life scientists and life science educators providing support and mentorship for non-major biology instructors. IGELS is collecting and developing materials for use at the introductory undergraduate level.
IGELS is also developing a series of workshops in association with the NABT to which everyone is invited, and these will form the basis of regional workshops around the country. Please visit the IGELS website.
I was also PI of the first RCN-UBE Summit (RCN-UBE Summit: Learning from the Community of Education Networks; Award #1543972; 2016 Summit Web Page; Meeting Report).
If you are interested in learning more and participating please email Gordon Uno.
