European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology and the Society for Mathematical Biology poster section

The methodology of design and development of new products has been around for a while and applied to the industry for decades with pretty good results. The results were so positive that nowadays one can find quite a few courses, books, papers and alike. On the other hand, the university seems not being able to cope with the digital generation efficiently. E-learning is the promise, but several problems that did not exist in a handful number of students in a classroom do exist. Similarly, a new product will have to achieve a public not always totally known a priori, in some case, when the product is launched, more than eighty percent of the budget has already been spent. On this poster we are going to discuss an ongoing project whose aim is designing and developing a course for biomathematics for a general audience. Our upcoming goal is a prototype that can be implemented online, e.g. webinar or broadcast, or in the traditional way, e.g. classroom. We are going to present what we have done so far, what we intend to do in the upcoming future and what we expect from such a project after (partial) completion.
