Welcome
The College of Exploration (TCOE) is a global learning network. We work with partners around the world on innovative and exploratory learning programs about our environment, earth, ocean, technology, leadership and other education topics. We are organized as a collegium and we strive to foster relationship with and between our inner and outer worlds.
Since 1991 TCOE has designed, delivered, and evaluated educational programs, workshop, courses and events for learners of all ages around the globe, with a particular emphasis on web-based courses and workshops for educators. Over 18,000 participants have joined the online campus over the years.
Our national and international expertise includes producing and offering both on-site and online events such as workshops, courses, evaluations, and conferences. We create and support programs in strategic planning, large-scale decision making, evaluation and assessment, media production, curriculum development, and forums for educators, students, and researchers.
Our work with partners around the world includes:
- Creating and offering online ubiquitous networked collaborative learning environments
- Providing professional and organizational development and strategic planning
- Designing and implemening training and learning programs
- Connecting scientists and their research with educators and the general public
- Conducting program evaluation and educational research
- Working collaboratively to develop and support science literacy initiatives
- Creating and incorporating video in learning programs
- Facilitating large-scale decision making events online, bringing groups together to achieve targeted goals
- Co-exploring and co-creating new programs, initiatives and missions
We see a continued need to improve and increase learning opportunities, especially in the geosciences and particularly ocean and earth sciences. We look forward to working with new partners and seek opportunities to collaborate with others to co-write proposals in new grant endeavors.
