Abstract: The Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education and Synthesis (QUBES) project is working to design, implement, and assess online collaborative communities that promote teaching scholarship. In doing this we have learned a variety of strategies for connecting existing and emerging projects with interested faculty to promote work that serves the needs of all participants. The webinar will provide some background on the QUBES project, examples of how faculty mentoring networks have made it possible for diverse educational programs to reach new audiences, and a framework for designing your own broader impact strategies.
The Education and Outreach Working Group is collaborating with the Small Collections Network on a series of webinars for Fall 2016.
