Abstract

Growing numbers of nursing faculties around the world believe that problem-based learning (PBL) fosters students' knowledge, skills and attitudes and allows them to participate as more efficient and effective health care team members. McMaster University School of Nursing has a long history of PBL. Their Institute for Nurse Educators now offers a professional development program where nurse educators from around the world learn to make the transition from traditional teaching to the development of a PBL curriculum.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.
