The BEN (BiosciEdNet) Digital Library Portal Overview

What is BiosciEdNet (BEN)? A collaboration of professional societies that is building an online library of digital resources for pedagogic materials pertaining to biology Established in 1999 by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Funded by NSF grants Serves as a catalyst for strengthening teaching and learning in the biological sciences.

Aims of BiosciEdNet (BEN) Focused on undergraduate level Promote active learning Materials are peer-reviewed before being made available Access is through

BiosciEdNet (BEN) Collaborative BEN serves as a catalyst for professional societies or coalitions that seek to: Build biological sciences education-focused digital libraries that include high quality, inquiry-driven, active, and engaging STEM education Contribute resources to the BEN portal. Collaborate in terms of pedagogy, authentic assessment, and development of multidisciplinary biological sciences resources.

BEN provides resources for... Guided Inquiry Open Inquiry Inquiry online Inquiry as part of a learning cycle unit Transforming “Cookbook” labs into guided/open inquiries

2005 Practice Portal for biological sciences ~10,000 peer reviewed resources 11 societies and centers National Science Digital Library

NSDL Pathways Slide coming soon…….

WHY USE BEN? Peer-reviewed resources: Active learning activities High-quality images Data sets Animations Assessments Journal articles Lesson plans Laboratory activities Teaching strategies Rubrics

WHY USE BEN? Diverse biological fields represented: over 75 fields of study over 21 professional societies including: AAAS ESA AIBS APS BSA SICB ASM ASCB

WHY USE BEN? Efficient search engine: Advanced search feature Browse by subject and topic resource type audience level

How can faculty benefit from BEN? By downloading and utilizing existing resources from the library By contributing pedagogic materials to the library By collaborating in terms of pedagogy, authentic assessment, and development of multidisciplinary biological sciences resources.

What if you want to contribute a resource? Generally go through collaborator society Submission involves completing online form Copyright may be claimed, but generally disseminated for free Item will be reviewed, based on society’s protocol Accepted items can count as a form of publication!!

Resource is not worth collecting if it can’t be… FOUND SHARED
