Tips for Creating a Functional Personal Knowledge Management System in Academia

I have recently been exploring ways to adopt second brain techniques to manage and organize my research.  At the ASEE 2023 conference, I shared a tips and tricks paper in the NEE division.  The full paper is available in the ASEE archive.

Preparing Women in STEM for Faculty Careers through a Job Search Workshop Series

About a year after the pilot of the SPARK program, we reached out to the participants to see how the program prepared them for their academic job search.  We published these results, details of the program, and other feedback at the 2023 ASEE Annual Conference in Baltimore.  The full paper is available on ASEE's website.

Development of a Community of Practice for Rethinking Best Practices in Post-COVID Experiential Learning

In the spring of 2021, a group of faculty who taught lab and design courses came together to share lessons learned from remote classes.  We found that we could have benefited from a community of practice (CoP) to be able to share ideas and collaboratively solve issues in our courses as we continued to adapt to changes in higher education.  At the 2022 ASEE annual conference, we presented a paper that shared the process of forming the CoP and the first year of programming.  The full paper is available from ASEE.
