The Society for Neuroscience is establishing ERIN, Educational Resources in Neuroscience, a Web-based portal that will enable faculty who teach neuroscience to list, review, and rate materials they use in their teaching. It will help faculty share information about resources that are effective in specific undergraduate courses, as well as create a community of practice in which faculty can exchange syllabi, lab exercises, and ideas about innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Materials will be peer reviewed for scientific validity and educational merit before posting, and the listings and reviews will be freely available on the web.INTELLECTUAL MERITThe explosive growth of knowledge in neuroscience in the last half-century makes ERIN's information about rapidly evolving resources essential for both faculty and students. The pace of new discoveries creates a constant need to update the content of courses and to teach beyond the material in textbooks. In addition, "millenial" students routinely expect to encounter online exercises, images, videos, and other resources, which can be difficult for faculty to find and evaluate. ERIN will provide informed access to such resources. It will be searchable in multiple, familiar ways and will serve as a "Web 2.0" community for faculty to discuss issues related to their teaching. ERIN answers recent calls from the biology community that "professional societies should provide professional development opportunities for faculty to enhance their expertise" so that faculty can look beyond existing textbooks for course resources and engage in peer-to-peer mentoring about teaching and learning (see the "Vision and Change" website maintained by the American Association for the Advancement of Science).BROAD IMPACTNews about Erin will be widely disseminated by the Society for Neuroscience and will be linked to the current BEN portal so that it can serve the widest possible audience of biologists. This project is being co-funded by the TUBE Program of the Emerging Frontiers Division of the Directorate for the Biological Sciences as part of th Vision and Change efforts

神经科学学会正在建立ERIN，神经科学教育资源，一个基于网络的门户网站，使教授神经科学的教师能够列出，审查和评价他们在教学中使用的材料。它将帮助教师分享有关在特定本科课程中有效的资源的信息，并创建一个实践社区，教师可以在其中交换教学大纲，实验室练习以及有关教学和学习创新方法的想法。 材料将在发布之前进行同行评审，以确保其科学有效性和教育价值，列表和评论将在网络上免费提供。智力优势在过去的半个世纪里，神经科学知识的爆炸性增长使得ERIN关于快速发展的资源的信息对教师和学生都至关重要。新发现的步伐创造了一个不断需要更新的课程内容，并教超越教科书中的材料。此外，“千禧一代”的学生通常希望遇到在线练习，图像，视频和其他资源，这可能是教师很难找到和评估。ERIN将提供对这些资源的知情访问。 它将以多种熟悉的方式搜索，并将作为一个“Web 2.0”社区，供教师讨论与他们的教学有关的问题。ERIN回应了生物界最近的呼吁，即“专业协会应为教师提供专业发展机会，以增强他们的专业知识”，以便教师可以超越现有教科书寻找课程资源，并参与有关教学和学习的点对点指导（见美国科学促进会维护的“愿景与变革”网站）广泛影响关于艾琳的新闻将由神经科学学会广泛传播，并将链接到当前的BEN门户网站，以便它可以为尽可能广泛的生物学家受众服务。该项目由生物科学理事会新兴前沿司的TUBE计划共同资助，作为愿景和变革努力的一部分。
