CourseSource

February 29, 2024

Thanks to Lucas Center friend, Katie Johnson, for sharing information about CourseSource, an open-source journal on evidence-based teaching resources for undergraduate biology and physics. According to the site:

We publish articles that are organized around courses in both biological and physics disciplines, and aligned with learning goals established by professional societies representing those disciplines. Please let us know what you think as you explore the articles and other information in the journal. We welcome your comments, questions, and/or suggestions. You can also follow us @CourseSource on Twitter to receive notifications about newly published articles and announcements! Learn more about CourseSource.

A quick search of the site using the search term “student success” yielded articles titled A Team-Based Approach to Course Development Involving Undergraduate Researchers, Structuring Courses for Equity, Facilitating Scientific Literacy Through Writing: A Write-to-Learn Assignment for Large Introductory Undergraduate Biology Courses, and Real World Scenarios in Non-Majors Biology, all of which could be relevant to the interests of faculty and students at FGCU.

We also know that many of you take a scholarly approach to your teaching, so you may want to consider submitting an article to CourseSearch, which publishes original works of anywhere from 2000 to 4000 words centered on scholarly teaching.

If you encounter other resources to support teaching and learning please share them with lucascenter@fgcu.edu, and we’ll post them to our blog and share links on social media. We look forward to hearing from you.
