Mini-Seminar�Creating educational materials for cloud-based tools:�Aligning audience and learning objectives
Hayden Fennel�Indiana University
Cloud-based simulation tools enable easy and accessible use of complicated computational software to students, instructors, and experienced researchers alike. However, developing effective instructional content to include alongside online simulations can pose both conceptual and technological challenges, as audiences of cloud-based simulation software often represent a wide variety of backgrounds and experience levels. This session will introduce theory and best practices for the development and deployment of meaningful supporting resources for online simulation tools. An overview method for developing computational learning activities will be discussed, along with suggestions for scalable, education-focused documentation strategies and other supports. Practical examples from current nanoBIO tools on nanoHUB will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring thoughts and/or questions about instructional content for their own simulation tools (current or prospective) for discussion.
Requests for Input/Suggestions
We would like the subgroup leads to prepare brief presentations for the Thursday meetings, please let us know when you would like to present
Ideas/help for publicising our Thursday mini-seminars more effectively and for speakers to invite
Suggestions for agenda items and approaches to organizing the Steering Committee Meetings more effectively
There have also been a number of requests for more explicit statements of goals and tasks from the WG leadership, we would appreciate your suggestions
Please contact Reinhard Laubenbacher, James Glazier, James Sluka or Lorenzo Veschini with your ideas on all of these issues
