Applications Open: VIRTUAL Educator Workshop -- Teaching Online Computation with MATLAB
This year, the 3-day MATLAB workshop is going Virtual: October 11-13 2020. (Sunday evening - Tuesday afternoon, CST). If you're teaching science, math, engineering or related disciplines, consider signing up now. The application deadline is July 31st. Apply for the workshop: Workshop Application
Details: Name: Teaching Online Computation Using MATLAB (Virtual) Date: October 11-13 2020 (Sunday afternoon -- Tuesday mid-afternoon, US time zones) Location: Zoom session Audience: Educators teaching undergraduate and graduate-level science, math, engineering and related disciplines
At the 2020 virtual workshop, you’ll have opportunities to • Curriculum: Upgrade your curriculum with a focus on transitioning to online learning • Mentoring: Meet in 1-on-1 coaching sessions with faculty, education professionals, and MATLAB experts • Publish and Cite: Get your teaching activities peer reviewed and citable for inclusion in your CV • Community: Collaborate with and build connections to a network of educator peers all working on impactful computational skill development in their courses • Learn: Learn how to embed new MATLAB tools in courses to improve student learning (Note that the workshop will use online technologies to enable 1-on-1 mentoring, group work, and community building. As in past years, the focus will be curriculum development, less presentation.)
In addition, you’ll have the chance to learn how to incorporate MATLAB Live Scripts, MATLAB Online, MATLAB Grader, and more.
This virtual will include working groups for building your curriculum. Participants will be matched with like educators.
Apply now to save your spot and help the conveners plan effective groups.
The workshop hosts will review applications and send acceptances status by early August.
Looking forward to your participation in the workshop, Cathy Manduca, Executive Director, SERC Lisa Kempler, Sponsor, MathWorks Don Baker, McGill University, workshop convener Dan Burleson, University of Houston, workshop convener and review editor Kelly Roos, Bradley University, workshop convener and reviewer Kristi Closser, California State University, Fresno, workshop convener and reviewer

Thanks Lisa for this information. I assume the times will be during daytime in a U.S. timezone, correct? Are there any ways for people outside of those time zones to participate comfortably, i.e. participate asynchronously?
Good question, @jiro. If we get enough signups from the EMEA region, we can likely make it work to have presentations be during daytime for both the Americas and Europe, more or less, and create working groups built by region so that working group time can be scheduled to match the participant's time zone. I expect that APAC/Asia might be too hard to make work. But if there's sufficient interest, maybe we could hold another one locally?
I would be interested to see what the interest is for APAC region. Definitely, if there are enough interests, it's worth considering. Have there been signups from APAC?
