Evaluation framework for genomics education.
Australian Genomics’ Workforce, Education & Ethics program recently convened and hosted an international workshop to develop a comprehensive evaluation framework for genomics education. Twenty-four experts in genomics education and evaluation attended from Australia, the UK, USA and Canada, including Dr Teri Manolio, Director of Genomic Medicine, National Human Genome Research Institute.
A scaffold that can be used at various stages across activity and resource development.
The framework will support the development of high quality genomics resources both nationally and internationally, including by Program 4 Working Group members and collaborators, by providing a scaffold that can be used at various stages across activity and resource development, from helping recognise an educational need through to evaluating impact.
