Our Resource Collection at APS April, 2012 Meeting
Joint us at the American Physical Society April 2012 meeting for a session to discuss our resource collection.  We will detail a step-by-step procedure for submitting resources to the website. The resource collection is designed to be a community effort and thus welcomes input and contributions from its users. We will also present plans, and will seek audience feedback, for additional website services and features. The constraints, roadblocks, and rewards of this project will also be addressed.  The session is J6: Invited Session: Teaching and Learning Physics Through ComPADRE.  Abstract: J6.00002.
