OCELOTS Incubator: Creating an online module in tropical biology

Are you interested in creating an online module in tropical biology that is based on your own research? Apply now to join us for the OCELOTS Fall 2022 – Spring 2023 Incubator, run through the OCELOTS network (Online Content for Experiential Learning oTropical Systems) and BioQUEST/QUBES.

Participants in this Incubator will focus on creating an online module in tropical biology on the Gala platform for use in undergraduate biology courses. Synchronous virtual sessions, once every two weeks, will enable participants to learn about various aspects of creating a module, receive mentoring, and support others in the network. Participants will work asynchronously to create their module.

Applications are now due August 7, 2022

Description: The OCELOTS network is joining forces with BioQUEST/QUBES to work with faculty who are interested in creating an online module in tropical biology that is based on a case study from their own research. Modules will be hosted on the Gala platform. We will enable (and encourage) researchers to work in teams that include collaborators/mentors who assist in the use of active learning methods, media, and interactive data tools. Preference will be given to case studies that are based on published research in peer-reviewed journals. Access examples of OCELOTS modules here.
