Goals

  • Learn how to retain an element of field ecology in your course while still teaching online or in a hybrid environment
  • Implement and provide feedback on at least one field ecology project that teaches ecological concepts and skills
  • Benefit from online support throughout the process of implementing new materials in your course

Lichen Niches and Distributions Lab Activity

Jessica Coyle

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Lichens in Diverse Landscapes: EREN-NEON Flexible Learning Project v1.0

This is a 2-part lab activity based on the EREN-NEON Flexible Learning Project: Lichens in Diverse Landscapes. Students conduct field surveys of lichen abundance near their homes and explore large-scale geospatial data on lichens and the environment.

Lichens in Diverse Landscapes: EREN-NEON Flexible Learning Project

Jane Dell

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Lichens in Diverse Landscapes: EREN-NEON Flexible Learning Project v1.0

This project makes use of publicly-available datasets on lichen presence and abundance and wet deposition, paired with geospatial data on air quality, tree canopy cover, and locally collected field data, to better understand how lichens respond to changes

Backyard Beetles + Pollinators for a non-lab course on biodiversity conservation

Emily Nodine

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Backyard Beetles + Pollinators Lab for BIO 3400 Ecology at Greensboro College v1.0

Backyard Beetles + Pollinators is a project to observe and evaluate plant-pollinator networks. This adaptation modifies the (adapted) modules for a non-lab course on conservation, conducted during a mix of in-person and remote students.

Adaptation of Plants in the Human-Altered Environment (PHAE) for a non-lab course on biodiversity conservation

Emily Nodine

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: An Adaptation of "Plants in the Human-Altered Environment (PHAE)" for 100% Remote Learning at East Stroudsburg University v1.0

PHAE is a project to compare effects of landscape alteration intensities on plant biomass and diversity. This adaptation modifies the (adapted) modules for a non-lab course on conservation, conducted during a mix of in-person and remote students

Lichens in Your Local Landscape

Leah Dudley

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Lichens in Diverse Landscapes: EREN-NEON Flexible Learning Project v1.0

This project uses Lichens to connect students with their local environmental air quality. Through a short lab session, students assess lichens growing on trees on their campus. They then use class generated data to test a hypothesis about air quality.
