2023 VISABLI Meeting
VISABLI is a NSF-sponsored Research Collaborative Network (RCN-UBE) centered on Visualizations, Interactives, Simulations, and Animations in Biology Learning and Instruction.
In our needs assessments, biology faculty have expressed interest in tools that would help them find animations or other visual resources appropriate for their teaching. Biology faculty have also expressed interest in materials that teach visual science literacy to undergraduate students.
We invite faculty to join us for a one-and-a-half-day meeting to co-design and pilot the use of these materials.
