Students will explore how environmental factors such as climate change or population density influence the transmission of these diseases. The activities are designed for face-to-face instruction and may be adapted for an online classroom. </span><span id="docs-internal-guid-4c87ec12-7fff-476d-1fdb-ccb91a7876b4" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1919613.

Students will use linear regression to analyze real data on vector-borne diseases such as Malaria, Zika, and LaCrosse Virus, and explore how environmental factors such as climate change or population density influence the transmission of these diseases. Activities have been modified such that students complete an introduction at home before class, then complete the rest of the activities in a synchronous online environment using breakout rooms and shared online documents. A synchronous meeting with students and the instructor allows group work and immediate instructor feedback, but this could be adapted for the asynchronous online environment as well. </span></p> |

| 3 | <p>This adaptation was designed for a second-semester biology course. Students were expected to spend 20-30 minutes preparing for the class and 80 minutes were provided during synchronous in-class time to complete the activities and discussion.</p> | ||
