How long‐term studies reveal otherwise hidden phenomena: The Long‐Term Animal Research Seminar Series

Using remote seminars to teach animal behavior

“…It is common practice that remote seminars are recorded and stored on video platforms (Zipple & Lange, 2021). This enables lecturers to show seminars (or parts of them) during diverse class times, or to require viewing them as an assignment to be completed at home.…”

“…At a first step, numerous departmental seminar series had been shifted to remote platforms. Notably, increased use of digital platforms to convene research seminars in a wide range of disciplines has revealed the ease with which large, international communities of colleagues can be brought together to share information and resources that readily lend themselves to use in instructional contexts (Botchkarev, 2020; Bottanelli et al, 2020; Wood & Duchesneau, 2021; Zipple & Lange, 2021; Table 1). Such remote (online) seminars create important opportunities for students to explore established and emerging research in a dynamic, discovery‐based format that can be tailored to fit a diverse array of instructional levels, learning objectives, and institutional settings.…”
