Terms of Reference
The Global Online Laboratory Consortium (GOLC)
Educational Committee Terms of Reference
Goal
The goal of the Educational Committee is to ensure that online laboratories are viewed by the larger educational community as being as much capable of a valuable contribution to student learning as proximate laboratories, and that they should be considered as much an essential part of infrastructure.
Mission
The Educational Committee (EC) will endeavour to …
1. Actively promote and reinforce the value of laboratory based education in the broadest sense, irrespective of audience or mode of access.
2. Ensure that the deployment, use and sharing of remotely accessible laboratories supports and benefits all participants.
3. Progress and promote the adoption of remotely accessible laboratories as a legitimate implementation of a laboratory learning experience.
4. Continue to maintain currency with, and to contribute to aspects related to remotely accessible laboratory pedagogy.
Organisation
The Educational Committee will be formed with a membership determined by the GOLC Executive Committee and will accept responsibility for completing tasks allocated to it by the Executive Committee. Sub-tasks may be allocated to groups within the Educational Committee but at the time of allocation will identify a member within the Educational Committee who will manage the sub-task. Decisions made by the Educational Committee on all matters will be carried out with a majority consensus of all members of the Educational Committee.
Working Group Principles
The principles must always be directed primarily at ensuring pedagogical soundness, but in a broader sense should ensure ...
1. An open and inviting discourse on matters relating to laboratory oriented education (and remote laboratories in particular)
2. The encouragement of an exchange of information relating to remote laboratory practices and the results of such practices.
3. A mindset which favours the extension of laboratory based education to those audiences which might be disadvantaged in that respect.
Activities arising from GOLC3
These are the planned activities for action in the near future. The timelines and coordinators are indicated in the action list.
