Botany360: Utilizing Botany conference content in your teaching

Botany360 Presents: Utilizing Botany Conference Content in your Teaching
Co-Hosted by the BSA Education Committee and Teaching Section
November 2, 2022
5:00-6:30 pm EST

Our Botany meeting talks used to be ephemeral, but innovations adopted during the pandemic have allowed us continued access to recorded versions of the talks throughout the year. The online content may offer a wealth of opportunities to engage our students in cutting edge botanical science. As a community of educators we will discuss ways in which this content might be useful. We will also discuss perspectives of content creators and how we can create informed consent and beneficial collaborations through continued use of our work. Botanical Society of America will receive a report about our ideas and suggestions.


Our group discussion will cover:

  • How might various types of educators use Botany conference content in their courses or with their lab groups?
  • How might educators use the content to improve their teaching?
  • What additional resources might educators use to augment the talks (ie. The lab website, scicomm, publications related to the topic, conversation with the author)?
  • What are some perspectives or concerns as content creators (those who recorded talks) that we should consider for using content this year? For next year if it is a hybrid meeting? What structures should BSA put into use to facilitate information or consent choices when talks are submitted next year?
  • What are barriers to educator or student participation in utilizing these resources?


Everyone should come ready to share with the group one or two ideas of talks or other conference materials you would like to use in some way this year.
