SUMMARY:Transitioning Education and Training to a Virtual World – Lessons 
 Learned
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nTransitioning Education and Training to a Virtual 
 World – Lessons Learned\n\nDey, Eijkhout, Koesterke, Powell, Gomez...\n\nI
 nteraction is the key to making education more engaging. Effective interac
 tion is difficult enough to achieve in a live classroom, and extremely cha
 llenging in a virtual environment. To keep the degree of instruction and l
 earning at the levels our students have come to expect, additional efforts
  were required to focus our efforts on other facets to motivate learning, 
 whether the learning was relative to students in our academic courses, our
  student internship programs, participants in our Summer Institute Series,
  or NSF/TACC's Frontera Fellowship awardees. We focused our efforts on lec
 turing less and interacting more.\n\nInteraction now came in the form of g
 amifying the classroom, giving students more choices regarding the path th
 e curriculum follows, taking better advantage of all the technology option
 s at our disposal, taking a more casual approach to teaching, constantly r
 elating the educational material to the students current and future projec
 ts, flipping the lessons so that the students become the instructors, inte
 grating peer programming groups.\n\nWe refocused our efforts on interactin
 g with students using alternative means. As a result, we built a successfu
 l academic and training curriculum making our virtual classrooms more enga
 ging and more collaborative, thus delivering a better educational experien
 ce. This paper will detail those efforts: what worked well, what aspects n
 eeded adjusting, how those adjustments were implemented, and how those eff
 orts were received by our students.\n\nTag: Education, Training and Outrea
