ERI February Seminar Speaker: Alison Flynn
The Education Research Initiative team is thrilled to introduce our next speaker in the ERI seminar series, Alison Flynn, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Ottawa. Her work includes developing online learning tools as Open Education Resources to support student learning, including OrgChem101 and a Growth & Goals Module. Her research group examines student learning in organic chemistry and the impacts of the Growth & Goals module. In all her work, she is committed to helping students succeed in their chosen careers and goals. Her talk, “Studies on student learning in an organic chemistry curriculum designed to deepen understanding of reactivity and chemistry principles,” will be held on Thursday, February 18 from 1-2 p.m. on Zoom.
