<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello All,<br><br></div>For all higher ed educators reading,
we'd like to encourage you to consider trying our new project
(<a href="http://brevy.org" target="_blank">http://brevy.org</a>) out as a novel way to get students:<br><ul><li> involved with real research and its literature</li><li> to contributed to a larger and meaningful framework</li><li> supporting open access and public understanding</li></ul></div><a href="http://brevy.org" target="_blank">Brevy</a>
is a wiki for plain language summaries of peer-reviewed research aimed
at making research accessible and understandable by all. Adding
summaries on Brevy is extremely quick and easy. Although we'd love
researchers to add their own works, we think having students...<br><ol><li>Find a paper of interest (or one prescribed by the teacher)</li><li>Add a summary of that paper on Brevy</li><li>Review class-mate's summaries on Brevy for quality and accuracy using Brevy's talk pages</li></ol><p>...would be a great and quick class project for accomplishing the goals above!</p><p>Brevy
is still in somewhat Beta stages, so we encourage you to hop on and try
a summary out first as we might can make the changes you're interested
in, but it could easily support a class project in this style across
most disciplines.</p><p>Feel free to send us your thoughts and please share with relevant colleagues!<br></p>-Josh @ Brevy</div>
