For Educators
The following education modules have been created using UTEP Biodiversity Collection data, specimens, and digitization products. They have been created with the intent of being highly adaptable to both in person and remote. The materials are free to remix, adapt, and use with attribution to the authors listed in each module. This project was funded in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (CAGML-247505-OMLS-21).
Below are links to folders containing the materials for each module or their link to the Qubeshub version. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and can be sent to mzhuang@utep.edu
