Meeting summary
- PLOTS in Higher Education (btbonval, 21:44:38)
- IDEA: Wiley suggests
public laboratory tools available at Libraries (btbonval,
21:45:37)
- Bronwen future of library is very involved.
merger of makerspaces and libraries might be in the long term
future? (btbonval,
21:46:46)
- Wiley is using PL tools in courses (Social
Science Environmental Health Research Institute programme). NDVI/NIR
camera to track plant growth. Balloon mapping. (btbonval,
21:48:24)
- IDEA: Lori : Why is
citizen science seen as less valid than academic science?
(btbonval,
22:00:15)
- general response is that the tools and jargon
are less suited to the rigors that academic science requires
(btbonval,
22:00:51)
- Wylie REACT Environmental Justice does
community based air quality, affiliate on a project-by-project
basis (btbonval,
22:05:17)
- Bronwen has seen some classes (Lori suggests
from LaGuardia) go out on the water taking water samples in sewage
polluted water ways (Newtown creek?) (btbonval,
22:06:24)
- IDEA: Curriculum
development could help interface universities, but it is unclear how
best to approach that. (btbonval,
22:11:05)
- IDEA: Wylie suggests
hosting workshops for faculty and/or students to demonstrate
possible curricula in an expedited way (btbonval,
22:11:47)
- IDEA: Ted suggests
going to the National Academy of Sciences to promote ideals
(btbonval,
22:14:20)
- IDEA: Bryan suggests
interfacing with EC clubs, not just environmental clubs (ends) but
also technological clubs (means) (btbonval,
22:14:59)
- Wylie University IP could get in the way of
openness from personal innovation from an academic who signed the
ownership rights contract, but arguments must be made to support
community engagement without IP getting involved (btbonval,
22:17:02)
- IDEA: Bronwen suggests
universities encouraging STEM should equally encourage
literature/communication or other forms of expression. being part of
a community or club encourages communication intrinsically
(btbonval,
22:21:00)
- Bronwen's students don't have a strong
investment in the school, so extracurricular and community
activities don't work so well because the students wouldn't engage.
the best option is integrating the good stuff right into proper
programs (btbonval,
22:28:34)
- Bronwen finds it useful to know what grants are
available, what programs exist and in what different structures they
can be introduced and grown (btbonval,
22:30:38)
- IDEA: Bronwen would
like PL to contribute to education articles to increase the clout of
PL and community outreach in general to make the pitch easier to
sell to academics. (btbonval,
22:33:07)
- Bronwen + Wylie think articles would be good in
Chronicle of Higher Ed and Insight into Higher Ed (btbonval,
22:34:09)
- IDEA: Wylie suggests a
newsletter devoted PL in the classroom, Bronwen counters that
possibly just a subsection of the weekly newsletter would
work. (btbonval,
22:36:00)
- Wylie likes that repeating experiments/projects
is a good thing and should be encouraged for validating previous
work and teaching repetition validation of science in general
(btbonval,
22:37:44)
- IDEA: Wylie likes PL to
have education-focused datasets that projects can build upon and
refine over time (btbonval,
22:38:14)
