The COSIA Instructors' Workshop prepares scientists and science educators interested in teaching the Communicating Ocean Sciences to Informal Audiences (COSIA) course at their institutions.

COSIA is a university course that introduces graduate and undergraduate science and education students to science pedagogy and learning theory, helps students to better communicate their knowledge to the public, and prepares future ocean scientists and educators to better communicate their understanding of and passion for the ocean.
