About the Event

Important Announcement

The STEM for All Video Showcase is now at the end of its funding cycle. We are grateful to NSF for funding this effort from 2015 - 2023. We have now converted this Video Showcase to a static site in order to ensure that you will have continued access to all videos. You can still search the videos by presenter name, use multiple filters to find those that are of interest to you, and read the discussions that took place.

Please note that some of the information below may no longer apply, as the event is now closed. Videos from all Video Showcases (2015 - 2022) are accessible on the STEM for All Multiplex.

 

The NSF 2015 Teaching and Learning Video Showcase: Improving Science, Math, Engineering, and Computer Science Education event was held online May 11-15, 2015. Seven NSF funded resource centers including, MSPnet, CADRE, CIRCL, CAISE, STELAR, CS10K Community and ARC have come together to host this cross-center online video event to showcase cutting-edge NSF work.

During the five days of this online showcase event, members of all of the resource centers are encouraged to participate and will be able to view the video presentations, participate in facilitated discussions of each video, and vote for the videos that are most effective in conveying the creative work being done. We hope that you will invite colleagues to visit the event website to also participate and engage with the presentations. All videos and discussions will be archived for future access there after.

Goals: The event will showcase cutting-edge NSF-funded work to improve teaching and learning and will allow colleagues affiliated with MSPnet, CADRE, CIRCL, CAISE, STELAR, CS10K Community community, and ARC to view, discuss, and comment on each others’ work. It will also allow each project to disseminate their work to the public at large, helping NSF achieve its goal of broad dissemination of innovative work.

Presenters: Projects from these resource center communities were invited to present their work by creating a short (<3 minute) video that showcases their intervention, innovation, and/or research. Videos will address potential impact, promise, and challenges.

Facilitators: Each of the resource centers provided event facilitators to be actively involved in the presentation discussions during the five days of the online event. In addition, they will vote for those presentations they feel use extraordinary creativity in the use of video to share innovative work to determine ’Facilitators” Choice.” We are grateful for their time and work in this event.

Recognitions: During the event, facilitators from each resource center will select a few videos, which will recognize extraordinary creativity in the use of video to share innovative work to determine the “Facilitators’ Choice.” In addition, all presenters will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite videos to determine “Presenters’ Choice.” Finally, all public visitors to the event will be asked to select those videos that they find most compelling. Those with the greatest number of public votes will receive “Public Choice” recognition. All presentations that are selected by facilitators, presenters, and by the public will be announced on May 18, 2015 and will be published on this showcase website. They will be broadly recognized throughout the NSF and STEM Ed communities as well.

Guests, including funders, PIs, teachers, administrators, professional developers, industry and the public at large are invited to watch the videos, post comments to the presenters’ discussions, and vote for the “Public Choice.”
