Abstract

1. Nurse education needs to continue to strive to enhance teaching and learning in nurse education by the use of creative and innovative activities. 2. The philosophy underpinning electives is that often learners know what they want to learn and how they wish to go about this. 3. The use of nursing electives allows learners to cultivate their abilities in relation to self-directed study. 4. Evaluation of the elective experience undertaken enhances peer group activity and promotes self-confidence.

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.
