Abstract

Aspects of the NSF-funded Multi-Initiative Dissemination Project (MID) are discussed in order to inform potential participants of the benefits of attending a MID workshop. The workshops are for two- and four-year college instructors who want to improve their students' understanding of science. Four of the NSF-funded chemistry systemic reform projects (ChemConnections, Molecular Science, New Traditions, and Peer-Led Team Learning) disseminate information and conduct hands-on activities with their session participants during the MID workshops. The MID workshops are funded from 2001 through 2003.
