EAIBCLS 2013 - Second Workshop on Educational Approaches for Integrating Bioinformatics into Computer and Life Science

Bioinformatics is a rapidly emerging discipline in which computational techniques are applied to genetic information in order to produce biological knowledge. The essential nature of bioinformatics is well-recognized in graduate programs, research consortia and biotechnology industries. The intent of this workshop is to bring together educators and researchers from the life and computer sciences to discuss strategies of integrating bioinformatics into the life sciences as well as presenting bioinformatics as an interesting problem domain for computer scientists. Specific topics of submission include, but are not limited to
- Course content
- Curriculum structure
- Curricular goal and objectives
- Course development
- Content modules
- Pedagogical approaches
- Pedagogical issues of open/distance education
- Integration of undergraduate research
- Development/experience with majors/concentrations
- Building and sharing education resources
- Use of technology as a way to enhance teaching and learning
- Ways of introducing bioinformatics to pre-college students and teachers
- Industrial partnerships
- Articulation agreements
- Non-academic training
- Attracting under-represented groups
Submissions pertaining to all levels of instruction, from course modules to entire curricula, and at all levels of interest are welcome.
