It also has a built-in gradebook that seamlessly integrates with commonly-used learning management systems like Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and more. VB Courseware is a learning management system that gives instructors complete control when designing coursework and assessments for health and life science courses. Instructors can pull from our huge bank of premade assignments and content—which follow the learning paths and commonly-used objectives found in high school and undergraduate A&P and Biology courses, as well as A&P and Biology textbooks—and customize them to suit their needs. They can also create their own 3D lessons, units, and assessments from scratch by using our content, their own content, or a mix of both. Students are guided through a series of paced interactive and visually-engaging activities and formative assessments that include 3D dissection and multiple choice quizzes. As students work through their assignments, their time-on-task and performance is tracked for instructors in the platform's built-in gradebook. Students access the platform through their institution’s LMS, rostering system, or by signing on to the Visible Body website via a web browser. VB Courseware offers accounts for instructors, students, and administrators, Anyone with an administrator Courseware account at an institution can create custom roles, assign permissions, and manage courses for that institution. The VB Courseware software supports a wide range of hardware, browsers, and operating systems and does not require an install. VB Courseware also includes a wide range of keyboard and screen reader support. VB Courseware is perfect for instructors who teach hybrid online courses, who are looking to supplement wet labs or even replace them, or who are simply looking for new ways to engage students.

This panel discussion on predatory publishing aims to shed light on the practices of predatory publishers, who exploit researchers for profit by charging fees for publication without offering legitimate editorial or publishing services. With the increasing pressure to publish and the rise of open-access models, understanding how to recognize, prevent, and protect against predatory publishers is critical for both researchers and institutions. We are fortunate to have 3 excellent panelists! Their biographies are below. Be sure to bring your questions!  Monica Berger is a Library Professor at the New York City College of Technology, City University of New York, who has published extensively on predatory (questionable) publishing including her monograph Predatory Publishing and Global Scholarly Communications (Association of Research and College Libraries, Publications in Librarianship series, 2024). In her publications and presentations, she addresses the marginalization of scholars from the Global South, arguing that the South should develop more quality, diamond open access in order to mitigate predatory publishing and offer local authors better options.  Ruth Bueter, MLIS is the Associate Director of Library Operations of George Washington University's Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library where she coordinates collections, cataloging, resource sharing, the institutional repository, and library systems and technology.

During her time as Serials Librarian at Himmelfarb Library, she became fascinated with predatory publishing and has been educating authors about the dangers of predatory and questionable publishers ever since. Ruth’s scholarly interests include predatory publishing, scholarly communications and publishing, information literacy, open access publishing, electronic resource management, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within the library profession.  Karen Burton is an Assistant Librarian at Clemson Libraries where she supports the College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Life Sciences and Clemson Extension. Karen graduated from Clemson in 2003 with a B.S. in Entomology and received her Master's of Library and Information Science from the University of South Carolina in 2021.

We're highlighting our next speaker today, Bethany McGowan. Bethany is an internationally recognized educator and researcher specializing in information diplomacy, misinformation management, and information literacy interventions. An Associate Professor in the Libraries and School of Information Studies at Purdue University, she leads research on infodemic management, health information-seeking behavior, and the role of libraries in fostering digital equity. A 2023-24 Fulbright Scholar Alumna and recipient of the Estelle Brodman Academic Health Sciences Librarian of the Year award, her work is deeply rooted in community engagement, collaborating with diverse groups to develop inclusive, evidence-based information access strategies.
