Webinar: How to Adapt EDDIE Modules to Meet Students' Needs
Feb 14 2019 February 14th, 2019 10 PST | 12 CST | 1 EST - This webinar will focus on how to adapt existing EDDIE modules to meet your specific course objectives. Jen will share her experience and that of her colleagues in reducing the level of difficulty for entry level non-science major classes and adding extra activities for upper-level courses. In addition, she will discuss her experiences taking materials written by others and adapting them to her specific course environment. The webinar will focus on Jen's experience with the Lake Mixing, Lake Ice Phenology, Lake Modeling, and Nutrient Loading modules but the content will be applicable to all modules.

Webinar: Developing students' quantitative reasoning skills using large authentic datasets and Project EDDIE modules
Feb 7 2019 February 7, 2019 8 PST | 10 CST | 11 EST Rebekka will describe how students make connections as they learn new material and why working with large authentic datasets can play an important role in addressing misconceptions. Catherine will describe how EDDIE modules are designed to help students improve quantitative reasoning using large datasets. They will both provide further insight into student and instructor experiences using these large-dataset modules.

Departmental Climate and GeoEthics
Feb 7 2019 Responsible conduct of scientists is as important as the responsible conduct of research to maintain the health of the scientific enterprise. In this February 2019 webinar, David Mogk explores the nature of personal interactions and how they impact individuals in academic departments. Principles of professionalism will be introduced followed by examples of (un)professional behaviors that impact the "climate" of a department. Suggestions will be made on ways to assess your departmental work climate, and concrete examples will be provided on how to prevent (or mitigate) threatening situations should they arise.

Engaging Environmental Justice in Geoscience Courses
Dec 10 2018 This December 2018 workshop, led by Sarah Fortner, Richard Gragg, Rob Rohbaugh, and Cathy Manduca is designed to focus on two strategies for incorporating environmental justice in undergraduate courses: case studies and service learning, as well as provide a discussion of the challenges of incorporating social issues in our courses. Through developing framework, sharing, examples, strategies, and tools, this workshop will explore how engaging the relationship between geoscience and environmental justice can strengthen students' interest in geoscience and build their ability to work on complex societal issues in their geoscience careers.
