a (two year) snapshot of bioinformatics education and training in australia - david lovell
DESCRIPTION
For the past two years, AustralianBIoinformatics.net, the main online presence of the Australian Bioinformatics Network, has been gathering and advertising information about bioinformatics education and training events in Australia. While not comprehensive, this is probably the best snapshot we’ve got, and in this short presentation we will see what this data tells us about learning, education and training.

WhySince mid-2012, AustralianBioinformatics.net has been gathering and advertising information about bioinformatics education and training events in Australia.
While not comprehensive, this is probably the best snapshot we’ve got
Let’s see what this data tells us…

What did the data say to me?
Additional/improved data could be readily gathered• Improve tagging of topics• Add in estimates of attendance• Solicit information about other events
What events should be in scope?• My guess? events open to anyone• Not covering tertiary courses or MOOCs
Training coverage is uneven• Perth? Hobart? Darwin?
