Session Description

The possibility for real discovery inspires the session leaders’ 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 botany through using open content and open-source tools. Presenters will highlight teacher trainings and pedagogical models being developed, for example, in the BioQUEST SCOPE and OER Commons International Teacher Exchange projects.
