All modules cover core biological content and skills and integrate biodiversity data and expertise from the museum community. In the first week, museum professionals provide the materials, support and expertise for faculty to confidently deliver museum based
educational materials to their students. The second week, museum professionals provide supplemental instruction, guided modules, and open office hours to facilitate implementation. The total time commitment from the faculty participating in the effort is
anticipated to be between 1-3 hours for a complete exercise, lecture , and lab experience.</p>
