Description

Whenever scientific or technical specialists engage with lay people, interesting things can happen - such as the development of new technology, publicity for scientific discoveries, or changes in how science is taught. This course reveals practical insights into how technical and nontechnical people have - and how they can - communicate with each other through the media and in educational settings. Course content will vary significantly from session to session depending on the lecturer. Initial courses will address topics like - how to make a science video or how to design a museum exhibit. A number of these 3 UOC courses are being offered by the SCOM program.
