Dear Colleagues attending the ARO Midwinter Meeting 2017, We are seeking to showcase teaching exercises that use computer software to teach important principles of hearing and balance research to undergraduate and graduate students during the 2017 ARO Midwinter meeting.
Our objective is to promote innovation, sharing and collaboration across educators to reduce duplication of effort and increase the breadth of educational tools available for teaching in the ARO community. Anyone that has developed a computer-based teaching exercise is invited to submit a document describing the exercise (including a title, short abstract, teaching objective, lesson plan and usage guides) and
links to necessary software for use by the ARO community and general public. Teaching exercises should demonstrate a lesson relevant to the interests of ARO, and may be targeted at students at a graduate or undergraduate level. All submissions will be made
publicly available online after the meeting, and selected submitters will be invited to give a 10 minute presentation on their teaching exercise during a special session at ARO. Presenters are encouraged to explain and demonstrate their teaching exercise,
and discuss how it enriches their course curriculum. Junior faculty, post-docs and students are especially encouraged to submit teaching exercises. We hope that this will be an opportunity for them to showcase part of their teaching portfolio, and demonstrate
innovation in teaching. All interested ARO members are encouraged to contact adam.bosen@xxxxxxxxxxxx and alan.kan@xxxxxxxx with questions and submissions. Thanks, Adam and Alan |
