learning method survey

Are you involved in teaching bioinformatics or programming to life scientists? If you've identified a learning method* that works for you and that you'd be willing to share with others, we'd like your help! It might be something as simple as using post-it notes to gather input from your trainees, or as complex as a cloud-based mechanism for sharing training materials; we don't mind so long as it's tried and tested and you can summarise it in the following form. We've tried to keep the number of required questions to a bare minimum (5), but the more questions you can answer, the more helpful your response will be to us. You can add as many methods as you like. If you'd like to know what a model answer looks like before you start, you can view one. We're doing this because we want to support course developers and trainers to share learning methods that work for them. This work is being done by the GOBLET trainer-support taskforce (www.mygoblet.org), and will feed into an openly available resource for course developers and trainers in the biomedical sciences that's being developed as part of the EMTRAIN project (www.emtrain.eu). Thank you for your contributions! If you have any questions, please use the 'comments and questions' box at the end of the form. *There are many definitions, but we define a learning method as a set of concepts and procedures for enhancing individual capacity and performance.
