Using Open Content and the Collaboratory Model for Real-World Science Learning
The possibility for real discovery inspires our participatory science pedagogy, within the framework of an online “collaboratory”. Combined with open content, a collaboratory is a flexible platform for shared experimentation. In this interactive session, participants will experience collaborating on issues related to climate change and biology through using open content and open-source tools. We highlight teacher trainings and pedagogical models being developed, for example, in the BioQUEST SCOPE and OER Commons International Teacher Exchange projects. The Pollen Project
