Recording of AIBS Webinar on Online Learning Resources Now Available

AIBS hosted a webinar entitled, “Empowering 21st Century Learners through Biodiversity Knowledge: Resources for Online Learning,” on March 24, 2020. The presenter, Dr. Anna Monfils, Professor of Biology at Central Michigan University, talked about the NSF-funded Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education Network (BLUE).
BLUE has focused efforts on developing and disseminating exemplar educational materials, defining core biodiversity data literacy skills and competencies, and extending the network to engage with communities of scientists advancing similar initiatives. The webinar showcased new resources and a course based undergraduate research exercise for undergraduates that provides opportunities for students to directly engage with digital data resources, facilitate data discovery and exploration, and create inclusive and culturally relevant research experiences.
A recording of the webinar is now available at: https://www.aibs.org/events/webinar/onlineresources.html
