ERM ANNOUNCEMENT: Request for ERM feedback on ASEE Hub
You may have received an e-mail from ASEE about a new Hub that is intended to promote communication among members. The ERM Division has a group site within this Hub. Please provide feedback on the ASEE HUB as to how you would like to see ERM use the platform. To access the Hub, please go to https://aseehub.asee.org and look for the group for Educational Research and Methods (ERM). Note the first discussion item welcoming members. Please use this discussion board to give feedback or start other discussions. How would you like this tool to be used in the future for ERM?
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Request for ERM members’ input
The Teaching & Learning Work Group of our Startup Task Force at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is creating a document on online and hybrid instruction as guidance for faculty. ERM members are invited to crowdsource their knowledge and energy to improve this document and make it available for other institutions to use. In particular, ERM members are invited to share their collective expertise to:
• Correct errors in or add nuance to our recommendations; refine the language used
• Add or edit the list of references
To access the document and suggest changes, please see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hS8PJW7nhPgjto6-4qfH0YJOz2Gevgqh/edit
For more information on this project, please contact Atsushi Akera at akeraa@rpi.edu.
JOURNAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Updated Author Guidelines Now Available: Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering
Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering is excited to announce that we have published updated authors guidelines (https://www.begellhouse.com/forauthors/journals/journal-of-women-and-minorities-in-science-and-engineering.html). Among other instructions, we now request that authors include a positionality statement and section about how the researchers ensured the protection of vulnerable populations. Our updated guidelines also articulate an explicit expectation that submitting authors actively participate in the constructive review process of approximately three other manuscripts. Please read Editor-in-Chief Julie P. Martin’s editorial about constructive review (http://www.dl.begellhouse.com/download/article/203fb33c02179492/JWM-33945.pdf). We look forward to receiving your submissions!
