Nimble Open Pedagogy to Connect Classrooms, Scholars, and Projects

University of Galway Library

Dr. Carlos Goller will share student-produced OER and explore the idea of connecting co-creation in courses and community engagement.

Empowering undergraduate and graduate students to be scientists and scholars is challenging, with constantly emerging technologies often impractical to bring to teaching laboratories. As part of small (10-18 student) upper-division courses, we have created public WordPress sites for several molecular biology courses enrolling undergraduate and graduate students from a broad range of disciplines and programs. The sites are populated with student-produced creative works they are willing to share publicly. Depending on the course, students create lessons, podcasts, video tutorials, and case studies that are designed to be accessible to a broad audience, reliable, and engaging. Every semester students contribute additional resources and use existing student-produced materials as supplemental readings, revising and updating as necessary. Dr. Goller believes that in courses without textbooks, because of the nature of fast-paced evolving scientific technologies, student scholar co-creators provide much-needed accessible information that others can leverage to understand the powerful applications of modern scientific methods. This is also an opportunity to engage stakeholders and the global campus community. How can we promote openness and use of these resources beyond our niche courses? This is a virtual event, link will be emailed to registrants prior to the event.Speaker BioDr. Carlos GollerI am an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and teach in the Biotechnology Program (BIT, biotech.ncsu.edu) at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. My research interests include molecular microbiology, metagenomics, high-throughput discovery, epidemiology, history of disease, science education, and outreach activities. I am also interested in teaching with technology and the scholarship of teaching and learning. Importantly, I love co-creating with student scholars and learning together by connecting courses, undergraduate research, and open educational resources.
