Mini Lesson Scoping Phase

Your submission will become your preliminary reporting and mini-lesson web page.

Discuss and draft your answers as a group, then assign a scribe to enter one form per mini-lesson. You must fill out and submit the form in one sitting (entries will not be saved on the form). After you submit this form you will be able to view a page containing your materials and make changes to that page. (If you don't enter your email address on this form, you won't be able to edit the page.)

There should be enough content in your descriptions for reviewers to understand if the envisioned mini-lesson will:

Use scientific results of given MARGINS theme
Fills identified gaps in current mini collection
Have reasonable learning outcomes that will be measurable with student assessments

Title of your Mini Lesson: This title will be used to label your webspace. It should be short and be specific enough to distinguish your module/course from others.

Authors (enter all names separated by commas)

Emails (enter all authors e-mails separated by commas or spaces- this should be the e-mail you use with your SERC account)

MARGINS/ GeoPRISMS team

Define topics that will be covered in your mini-lesson. (~2 weeks of course materials based on MARGINS results and data for each of four initiatives, ready to incorporate into upper-level undergraduate courses)

Course context for use
The course context in which your mini-lesson can be used (e.g. Upper level petrology, geochemistry, etc). Identifying course contexts early ensures that it meets the project goal to disseminate and facilitate the lessons' incorporation into a wide-range of common course frameworks.

Define Desired Learning Outcomes

What do you want your students to take away from this mini-lesson?
What knowledge, skills, abilities, and dispositions should the ideal student using the mini-lesson demonstrate?
How will they be able to demonstrate these capacities?

Assessment
How will you know that your students have learned what you intended? What evidence are you planning to collect in your course to see if students have made progress on these learning goals? Are there particular assessment techniques that might work for this mini lesson? (view description of various assessment techniques opens in new page)

Click here to upload materials (you can do this later as well).

All uploaded files are public unless you are in a private workspace

Title: A descriptive, human readable title.

e.g. 'Student Handout for Sauerkraut Assignment'

Select the file: Make sure it has an appropriate suffix (e.g. .doc) or specify the type in the Optional Fields below

Description: A very brief description of the file.

Show Optional Fields

File Type:

The system will attempt to determine the correct file type based on the name of the file you've selected. Choosing the correct file type here will override that.

File Name:

e.g. 'student_handout'
This will be the name of the downloaded file. By default the system will generate this based on the title you specified and the type of file. If you specify a name here it will over-ride the automatically generated name. This is generally only useful when uploading file of a type not recognized by the system (not in the list of file types above). In that situation choose File Type: Unknown Binary and include the appropriate suffix in the file name here. e.g. myfile.m3z Avoid spaces or special characters in the file names.

Authorship/Reuse

Either:
I am the author (copyright holder) of the contents of this file and people are allowed to reuse it for non-commercial purposes as long as they give me attribution as described by this creative commons license.
Or

Choose a different authorship/reuse options

Who is the original creator/copyright holder of the information in this file?

Provenance/Acknowledgements

A short description of where the material came from. Include names and institutions of authors and contributors as well as acknowledgment of any work from which this was derived.

Reuse License

The creator/copyright holder must have agreed to allow distribution of this file through this site.
If you are the creator we strongly encourage you to select the CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike option.

More Information about reuse and choosing a license

Distributing information on the web generally requires the permission of the copyright holder--usually the original creator. Providing the information we request here will help visitors to this site understand the ways in which they may (legally) use what they find.

If you created this file (and haven't signed away your copyright) then we'd encourage you to select the CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike option. You'll retain the copyright to your file and can do as you please with it in the future. Through this choice you are also explicitly allowing others to reuse that file as long as they give you attribution, and don't use it for commercial purposes.

If the file (or content within it) was created by others you'll need their permission. If it predates 1923 or was created by a U.S federal employee (as part of their job) it is likely in the public domain (and we can all do as we choose with it). The original author may also have explicitly stated how it may be reused (e.g. through a creative commons license). You can describe the licensing/reuse situation in the box above.

Without permission you should not upload the file. There are several options in this case:

You can contact the original author to get permission.
You can provide a link to (or a description of how to get) the original material rather than uploading it here.
You can find a substitute that isn't encumbered by copyright.
You can create a substitute yourself. Remember, ideas can't be copyrighted, only particular expressions of those ideas. Of course you'll want to give credit the original author.
