<p>The <a href="https://www.biodiversityliteracy.com/">Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education</a> Network (BLUE),
<a href="https://www.esa.org/esa/">Ecological Society of America</a> (ESA), and iDigBio are co-sponsoring a new session at the 2018 SPNHC/TDWG meeting entitled the
<i>Educational Materials Share Fair</i> to be held on <b>Thursday, August 30, 2018, from 11:00-12:30 NZST in Castle D (40)</b>. This is an opportunity for colleagues to share and get feedback on education or outreach materials. Materials can be at any stage
of development from fledgling ideas to fully vetted materials. All are welcome to either share as developers or participate as potential adopters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This <i>Share Fair</i> differs from the normal SPNHC DemoCamp in both format and focus. During the one hour time period, we will offer two rounds of up to ten developer presentations simultaneously. Each developer will be set up at a round table and be given
20 minutes to present their materials and ideas, collect feedback, and generate discussion with potential adopters and interested colleagues that join their table discussion. These are intended as informal sessions so no AV will be provided, but developers
can bring a laptop and copies of any of their materials they wish to share. Depending on the number of proposals to present, we will offer up to 20 unique presentations or repeat the 10 presentations. Participants will be able to give feedback to two developers.
Each table may have up to nine participants depending on the number of attendees.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The goals are to build the education and outreach community within SPNHC, facilitate development and implementation of collections-based education and outreach materials, and increase awareness and use of collections-based science. Finally, the session will
provide an overview of the opportunity to publish collections-based educational materials in a special issue of ESA’s Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE).<o:p></o:p></p>
