On Monday, May 21, from 11am - 7pm, join us at Macaulay Honors College for a workshop on using the Science Forward Open Educational Resource (OER) in your classroom. The Science Forward OER is a modular resource featuring materials to help promote scientific thinking in your courses. At Macaulay, the Science Forward OER is used as part of the interdisciplinary, skills-focused curriculum for our required science course. The OER consists of a video library and suggested activities and readings for each video. Since our OER is focused on scientific thinking in general, it can be used in multiple classroom settings and at a variety of levels. At this workshop, you will learn about using the OER in your class to promote active learning, develop a lesson using the OER, discuss how to use student-collected data for student research projects, and make plans for integrating a part of the OER into your course's syllabus. Dinner will be served!
Space is very limited! RSVP here: https://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/scienceforward/oerworkshop/ We look forward to seeing you!
