Abstract Title: Conversations in the PER of the IPLS Course
Abstract Type: Community Connection
Abstract: The Introductory Physics for Life Science (IPLS) course has been the source of a wealth of numerous PER projects and has resulted in the formation of the Living Physics Portal (LPP). However, the PER researchers and the users of the new pedagogical materials are a very dispersed community. The session will highlight a few new developments and give the attendees an opportunity to connect, discuss new trends, and explore ways to both develop and use the PER-based, IPLS course material and to access and contribute to the LPP.
Session Time: Community Connections 1
Room: Carlton
