ANNUAL TECHNICAL MEETING

Professional Development opportunities are available for faculty (and interested graduate students​​) and run concurrent with the poster session in the afternoon (1:30-3:00).  See the list of workshops below.
 
Title: Implementation of a computer-based research project in lower and upper division Biology courses
Location:  PES 156
Time:  1:30-2:00 PM and 2:00-2:30 PM
Presenters: Lindsey Long, Oklahoma Christian University and Alisha Howard, East Central University
Description: The Genomics Education Partnership (GEP) is a nation-wide collaboration of 100+ institutions that integrates active learning into the undergraduate curriculum through Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) centered in bioinformatics and genomics. GEP faculty are provided training, curriculum, technical, intellectual, and TA support, professional development, and a community of faculty to serve as mentors. This workshop will provide an overview of the GEP and demonstrate different examples of how GEP research projects were implemented in the classroom.
 
Title: Alternatives to final exams: unessays, lightning talks, and epic finales
Time:  1:30-2:00 PM and 2:15-2:45 PM
Location:  PES 166
Presenters: Laurie Kauffman, Oklahoma City University
Description:   Does a typical final exam really demonstrate and celebrate how much students have learned in a course? I will explain my use of, and experience with, alternative assessments that allow students to demonstrate their learning in ways that can be more memorable than a traditional final exam.
 
Title:  Programming in the Cloud
Location: PES 154
Time:  2:15-2:45 PM
Presenters: Nicholas Jacob, East Central University
Description:   Utilizing free, open source resources, it is easier than ever to integrate programming into your courses.  We will examine coding in python and R using cloud computing.  We will show how students can create reports and share them with class or the world with just an internet connection.
 
Title:  Using online polling platforms in classes
Time:  1:30-2:00 PM and 2:00-2:30 PM
Location:  PES 106
Presenters: Janaki Iyer, Northeastern State University
Description:   The workshop will be geared towards using online polling platforms in face-to-face or synchronous virtual classes. Participants will become familiar with platforms like TopHat, the Zoom polling feature, and poll everywhere and how they can be used for engaging students. We will also cover how these platforms can be used for assessment purposes.
