[Nhcoll-l] Webinar April 9th - An Arctos and Aim-Up! Educational Module

[Emily M. Braker]

Please join us Tuesday, April 9th for an Arctos webinar on integrating digital biodiversity data into teaching.

Title: An Arctos and Aim-Up! Educational Module

Abstract: Recent NSF collaborations such as Aim-UP! (Advancing Integration of Museums into Undergraduate Programs), BLUE (Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education), and QUBES (Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education and Synthesis) develop educational modules that leverage the vast information contained in natural history museum archives and cyberinfrastructures to provide collections-based training in large-scale questions for students. This webinar will provide an introduction to a module first developed in Aim-UP! and later expanded in BLUE and QUBES on the theme of Islands as a Tool for Teaching Ecology and Evolution. The module has been used in several ecology and evolutionary courses in home schools, high schools, and undergraduate programs and is an example of how educators can begin to use digital biodiversity data to actively engage students in the scientific process.
