Group active engagements for helping students learn major principles in introductory organismal biology

Abstract

This website presents the resources for teaching group active engagements (GAE’s) from the OrgBio course taught at the University of Maryland. Each folder includes an instructor guide, student worksheet, and pptx presentation, and most include several homework assignments. Please read the “read me first” and “using these resources” documents for further information. Our OrgBio course is more fully described in the paper Cooke et al., “Group active engagements for facilitating principles-based learning in introductory organismal biology,” which was published in the American Biology Teacher 85(6): 317-326.
