Next week we launch a three-part event series on teaching at community colleges; the first event, a panel discussion on what it's like to teach at a community college, takes place next Tuesday.
Beyond CIRTL, next week the Postdoc Academy is launching its Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on succeeding as a postdoc; the MOOC will be paired with learning communities to provide postdocs with peer support throughout the 6-week course.
