During this workshop, we will present recent work to construct a mastery rubric for bioinformatics, and will describe how such a tool may be utilised in the development of training courses and learning assessment.

We will begin by discussing knowledge, skills and abilities in bioinformatics, focusing on how we can map the performance of such ‘competencies’ to career stages and learning paths. We will demonstrate how the outcome of such mapping - a mastery rubric - becomes a tool that can be then used by trainers to develop training solutions and assess learners’ progression.

Participants will have the opportunity to practice how to develop a mastery rubric that they can later apply in their work.

The Workshop is taking place as a satellite event to the GOBLET AGM meeting on 22-24 November 2017 in Oeiras, Portugal.
