Shaw-IAU Workshops by the OAE

AstroEDU, the open-access platform by OAE, offers educators a monthly opportunity to discover new, peer-reviewed, high-quality educational activities in the fields of astronomy, Earth sciences, and space science. AstroEDU is already available in English, Italian, and Spanish, and the French and Greek versions are currently under development. The platform is also testing new technologies like the A.A.A., the A.I. Assistant (currently under evaluation), which will be introduced to improve the user experience.

In this workshop, we will provide an overview of the activities published to date and offer insights into how to use the A.A.A. to search for the right activity for your classroom. During the second part of the workshop, participants will be guided through an interactive process that involves analyzing and discussing case studies in the context of the publication journey. Additionally, some authors of AstroEDU activities will join us to share their direct experiences, offering valuable perspectives on creating and publishing educational resources.

This workshop is designed to introduce AstroEDU to both teachers and researchers involved in education, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to use and create high-quality educational resources that can benefit educators worldwide.
