While molecular visualization has been recognized as a threshold concept in biology education, the explicit assessment of students' visual literacy skills is rare. To facilitate the evaluation of this fundamental ability, a series of NSF-IUSE-sponsored workshops brought together a community of faculty engaged in creating instruments to assess students' biomolecular visualization skills. These efforts expanded our earlier work in which we created a rubric describing overarching themes, learning goals, and learning objectives that address student progress toward biomolecular visual literacy. Here, the BioMolViz Steering Committee (BioMolViz.org) documents the results of those workshops and uses social network analysis to examine the growth of a community of practice. We also share many of the lessons we learned as our workshops evolved, as they may be instructive to other members of the scientific community as they organize workshops of their own.

会议报告：BioMolViz 开发生物分子视觉素养评估的研讨会

虽然分子可视化已被认为是生物教育中的一个门槛概念，但对学生视觉素养技能的明确评估却很少见。为了促进对这种基本能力的评估，NSF-IUSE 赞助的一系列研讨会汇集了一群致力于创建工具以评估学生生物分子可视化技能的教师社区。这些努力扩展了我们早期的工作，其中我们创建了一个描述总体主题、学习目标和学习目标的标题，以解决学生在生物分子视觉素养方面的进步。在这里，BioMolViz 指导委员会 (BioMolViz.org) 记录了这些研讨会的结果，并使用社交网络分析来检查实践社区的发展。我们还分享了我们在研讨会发展过程中学到的许多经验教训，
