I think this is a very good module. I will use it again next semester in the Ecology laboratory. I like the module because it helps understand the concept of scale, besides all the other objectives that the module have. It also provide students with tools for data analysis. ImageJ could be used for many other things. I pointed that out the the students and they started thinking about other projects were the software might be useful. https://qubeshub.org/collections/post/1479/comment
