On the Cutting Edge Thematic Collections

Scope of the Collections
Development of thematic collections of instructional and related resources is an integral part of the On the Cutting Edge faculty professional development program. Thematic collections are developed to support pre-workshop preparations, the workshop programs, follow-on activities and the dissemination of workshop content to geoscience faculty nationwide.

Collections Selection Criteria
Resources in the On the Cutting Edge collections will be selected to support workshop goals and outcomes by the project PIs, webteam, and leaders who are chosen for their expertise with respect to the workshop topic.

Persistence Plan
On the Cutting Edge collections will be maintained by the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College for the duration of the project and into the future as long as the SERC website is in operation. If the SERC website ceases to operate, we will seek partners to ensure persistence of the collection.
