The workshop also covered the use of the [OpenSkill](https://openskillhub.org/) platform, which supports the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) to easily develop active learning assignments, such as peer review, charting, and virtual tours.  In case you missed out, below is a recording of the session.    ##### Presenters: David Schönstein, PhD, Head of Inspark Lucien Kahn, Inspark Product Manager #### Workshop Highlights: In this workshop we demoed PhET Simulations using the Argos platform with our [CriticalChem Course](https://inspark.education/demo/criticalchem/). Attendees were shown and able to participate in the student experience combined with a demonstration of how the adaptive lessons were built in the platform author. The Argos platform brings together interactive simulations, multi-selection questions, drag-and-drop, variable scoring, adaptive feedback, and more, to provide a true active learning experience for students. Argos also seamlessly integrates into all learning management systems for grade syncing and pass back.
