COSEE-OS Presents Educator-Scientist Concept Mapping Workshop - 03.16.2009

Workshop participants collaborate on a concept map
COSEE-OS presented their Educator-Scientist Concept Mapping Workshop on Ocean-Climate Connections at the New England Center on the University of New Hampshire Campus on March 13-14, 2009. For this event, 12 educators were matched with 5 ocean and climate scientists from the University of New Hampshire to improve their collective understanding of Earth's major ocean - climate systems.

Topics focused on the current research topics of the internationally known scientists who participated in the workshop, and each team created a series of concept maps consisting of:

  • An original concept map created on paper by the scientists on day one of the workshop
  • A digital concept map created in the COSEE-OS Concept Map Builder (CMB) and presented to educators on day two of the workshop
  • A consensus concept map created collaboratively between scientists and educators using the COSEE-OS CMB
