OUTLINE

Time:  Any time you want to participate you are welcome to do so.

The primary purpose of this on line material seminar is to prepare students to discuss science topics (research  or published works) and to learn a means to be effective in presentation via web based media. As part of this project, each person is responsible for selecting a topic. Presenting a research topic or paper orally in the context of the seminar is key and will be used for providing student feedback from peers and the instructors.

General policy: Group participation as a discussion board postings is the main interaction for this project. Your recordings are managed through YouTube or to post on this web page that I will manage. The media needs to be available for all people that want to participate.

The idea is to learn how to present by doing. The presentations are viewed and critiqued on the nature of web based media presentation of what appears to be advantageous for conducting scientific discussion via web media.

The topic can be a research project that you are involved in or current topics in Biology. The class will ask questions and you are to encourage through a discussion that can be posted through me or you can post comments direct to a person's YouTube comments section.

International students are encourged to participate in the course; however, to monitor content that will be posted through this web page I need to understand what is being said. So, I might delay linking to a youtube link or posting the presentation until someone can review content if in another language other than English or Korean.

Link for topics and papers
Go to the http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
These journals offer you some topics that might be of interest to you for the course. Not all papers are full access to all the journals. One can also email the authors of papers and ask them to send you a PDF version of their paper for the course discussion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The format

Pick a topic and be able to present it via Power point. Plan on performing two different presentations, each 15 minutes in length. The online questions and discussion will be linked with the presentation via this web page. If we have issues with posting by international students they can email me their text and I will post on a web page for all students in the course students to view.  The 1st presentation will be reviewed by me and anyone that wants to participate. After comments are provided,  a second presentation on a different topic or the same content should be given by the partcipant for seeing improvement in the quality of presentation via this web media and for the scientific content of the presentation.

The theme for this outreaching project is "Current Topics in Biology"

A new approach of relaying information. Live poster presentation. Please see if this approach is a good means to present on line. We want to try new ways and then everyone can determine what does and does not work. The topic is an interesting topic. This is research by Ms. Ellen Burns (view here http://youtu.be/NSKyXoYKlHs )
