Board 239: Developing an Instructor's Interface for FossilSketch Application to Provide Knowledge-Sharing Collaborations Between Science Educators

Presented at NSF Grantees Poster Session

We developed FossilSketch software for teaching the identification of microfossils in undergraduate geoscience classes. The FossilSketch application was used for outreach and classroom activities in various courses, including geology, paleontology, and biology. We have been continuously improving the existing student dashboard to provide more autonomy and to improve motivation and knowledge retention for students. Many instructors expressed their interest in the tool and associated projects and expressed the need for enhancement for broader sustainability. Based on the identified need, we are developing the instructors' dashboard to allow instructors to create, share, and customize classroom activities.
