Module Index

Modules are often substantial sets of materials. Many of these were developed specifically for ethnobiology courses. Some of the modules can be shared without modification. Other modules provide hints, ideas and items which can be adapted for use.



General Information about Modules

Modules are individual units which have been developed for use within ethnobiology courses. These range from worksheets which can be used in laboratory exercises to video presentations that supplement or replace traditional lectures.

There are several ways in which these modules are indexed here.

Links to Collected Materials

These are sets of modules which have a common focus.


The TED talks (Technology, Entertainment and Design) consist of short (usually 20 minutes or shorter) presentations by some of the world's leading thinkers. Most of the presentations are excellent. The TED website also links similar talks which were presented in different venues.
