Teaching and Learning Ecological Modeling over the Web: a Collaborative Approach

This online report, published in Conservation Ecology, describes the framework for web-based collaborative teaching, and provides the layout of an ecological modeling course as an example of how this method of teaching can be implemented. The course content consists of reading materials that describe the theory of systems analysis and modeling, guidelines on how models can be built, and numerous examples and illustrations. The interactive portion includes exercises that can be discussed with and evaluated by the instructor, and provides a means to mimic class discussions. In addition to the course content, the report also offers a discussion of the availability and relevance of other web-based tools, including links to those discussed.
