    1. ASEAN Bioinformatics Masterplan and BioGrid Computing Tan Tin Wee Chairman, ASEAN SubCommittee on Biotechnology and Secretariat, APBioNet

    2. ASEAN and Asia Pacific initiatives Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network since 1998 endorsed by APEC APBioGrid and BioWorldWide Workflow with KOOPrime (2001) International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB) 2002 – Resolution on Bioinformatics Development for the AP region ASEAN Biotechnology Leaders Meeting on Bioinformatics at Brisbane ISMB03 conference

    3. Building an infrastructure for: HR Training and Education Resources and Services Databases Computational Devices Research Collaborations Mega projects

    5. S* Alliance Global Bioinformatics Online Distance Education Tan Tin Wee*, Justin Choo, Shoba Ranganathan * Presenter

    6. Bioinformatics & Its Challenge Rapid growth in past 3 years; rapidly evolving field Few universities can offer the complete range of Bioinformatics courses Lack of trained bioinformaticians in the Asia-Pacific region

    8. Goals of S* Provide a GLObal Bioinformatics Unified Learning Environment (GLOBULE) made up of modular courses in the disciplines of bioinformatics, medical informatics and genomics Provide accessibility to the highest possible quality of online courseware approved by the educators from the host institutions. Develop an integrated modular learning environment that allows a student to select from both pre-requisite modules and advanced modules in order to build a comprehensive program.

    9. History of S* 2000 - Sweden Stanford and Singapore agreement in Singapore - Meeting in Sweden: all founders involved 2001 - AGM in Copenhagen, 1st course 2002 – 2nd course 2002 - BioEd conference in Singapore, AGM at NUS 2003 – UCSD joins, 3rd course, 4th course

    10. Participants List

    11. S* Course: Occupation

    12. Course Pedagogy Lectures Discussion Assessment Tutorial (New) Practical (New) Course Feedback

    13. Delivery & Pedagogy Via the Integrated Virtual Learning Environment developed @ NUS

    14. Delivery & Pedagogy (cont.) Video/Audio Lecture Presentation Slides made available for reference and viewing Email as the main communication tool Participant Course Coordinator Participant Teaching Assistant Teaching Assistant Course Coordinator

    15. Sample Lecture

    16. Sample Discussion Forum

    17. Sample Assessment Session

    18. Strength Of The Course Online content allow anytime-anywhere access Presented by world renowned experts from different institutions Made available to a broad audience Well-organised User friendly system

    20. Advantages Member organizations do not need to wait until experts in all domains of bioinformatics are hired (if at all possible) Re-usable courseware Easily updated content Uniformity of curriculum and evaluation Globally accessible education

    21. Feedback To think that a world-class, web based education with such valued lectures is brought to your desk free of cost is impossible elsewhere. The course was wonderfully well managed. Our requests and problems were quickly and well attended to. I had a great time doing this course and thank the S*STAR team whole heartedly for making me a fortunate participant with this fantastic experience. ~ Naidu Ratnala Thulaja, Singapore I think it is a very useful course, it is exactly what it says it is: an introduction to bioinformatics. It covers nicely major topics and provides enough information in order for us to understand what bioinformatics is all about. I enjoyed it very much and I am even a bit sad it is over. Thank you very much! ~ Patricia Severino, Romania

    22. PBL Session S* is currently experimenting PBL session using web-based collaboration platform – TWiKi (http://twiki.org) Consideration/Issues to resolve : How to accommodate so many participants How to host so many TWiKi page Will participants with slow connection able to access ?

    23. Online Delivery Mechanism Consider and want to explore various advanced networking technologies particularly on video conferencing software e.g. AccessGridTM http://www.accessgrid.org/
