June 2023 – Developing Interactive Content for Open Educational Resources (OER)
Interested in OERs for biochemistry? Need some dedicated time to explore OER content? Like the idea of OER but want more control over what your students see? If so, we have the workshop for you!
Monday, June 5th &
Wednesday June 7th, 2023
noon–3 PM ET on Zoom (Register Here)
BioMolViz is hosting a virtual workshop on developing OERs, led by Fundamentals of Biochemistry LibreText author, Dr. Henry Jakubowski. With an emphasis on interactive content for biochemistry courses, including iCn3D models, instructors will be trained in the basics of OER creation. Participants will receive their own LibreText account to learn the nuts and bolts of authoring original content and remixing existing OER content to create a custom resource. Register now!
Visualization Conversations
Since Fall 2020, BioMolViz has been hosting a series of informal online conversations monthly to keep our community connected online. We are planning to resume visualization conversations in Fall 2023 and are seeking presenters in the biomolecular visualization field. If you are interested in leading a conversation on a topic in biomolecular visualization education, please contact us.
