Massive Open Opportunity: Supporting MOOCs in Public and Academic Libraries

Massive Open Opportunity: Supporting MOOCs in Public and Academic Libraries | Bioinformatics Training | Scoop.it

What is the role of public and academic libraries in supporting MOOCs (maasive open online courses), or why would MOOCs need libraries?  

 

There are multiple potential roles for libraries in the MOOC development, support, assessment, and preservation process, some of which have been more fully explored than others in the few months since Coursera and EdX began rolling out offerings.

 

One important role has to do with librarians helping faculty ensure the materials they use to create their MOOC presentations and readings are not going to get them or their institutions into trouble as far as copyright content is concerned.

 

Then there's another potential role for libraries to curate and preserve the user-generated content—student work—that is created during a MOOC.

The Library as Content Creator has received considerable attention in the OCLC symposium aside from the possibility of libraries offering MOOCs on research skills, such as how to navigate databases and recognize seminal articles.

I like this poster. Learning psychology is about explaining or outlining a theory, followed by evidence in the form of research, ending with critical evaluative commentary. This will be helpful for students.

PLOS Genetics: Genetic and Genomic Architecture of the Evolution of Resistance to Antifungal Drug Combinations

PLOS Genetics: Genetic and Genomic Architecture of the Evolution of Resistance to Antifungal Drug Combinations | Bioinformatics Training | Scoop.it

Here, we evolved experimental populations of the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the leading human fungal pathogen Candida albicans with azole and an inhibitor of Hsp90, geldanamycin, or calcineurin, FK506. To recapitulate a clinical context where Hsp90 or calcineurin inhibitors could be utilized in combination with azoles to render resistant pathogens responsive to treatment, the evolution experiment was initiated with strains that are resistant to azoles in a manner that depends on Hsp90 and calcineurin. Of the 290 lineages initiated, most went extinct, yet 14 evolved resistance to the drug combination. Drug target mutations that conferred resistance to geldanamycin or FK506 were identified and validated in five evolved lineages.
