Layered learning. Improved learning through phased education.

Abstract

If you do have the time and money to put on a "train everyone all at once in every new skill they need" educational program, then by all means, "Go for it!" However, for the rest of us, this traditional approach to education just may make initial implementation of our restructuring designs impractical. For us, Layered Learning comes to the rescue. That's the up-side of Layered Learning. Sooner. Faster. Timelier. Safer. Healthier. Cheaper. A better approach to restructuring education. The challenge of Layered Learning is that it raises restructuring education from just another "to do" on a project plan to a strategic weapon to be carefully structured and put in place. By definition, we will have to make some tough decisions in terms of defining layers and interim designs. Still, more and more hospitals around the country are discovering that Layered Learning can be a powerful ally in their restructuring initiatives. You just can't turn your back on it.

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.
