Teaching Resources
College Course Material
Dr. Gosnell currently teaches introductory courses in ecology and upper-division courses in biostatistics and conservation biology. His courses typically use open educational resources in lieu of traditional textbooks in order to increase student access and bring current material into the classroom. Material he has developed and synthesized for these courses can be accessed using the following links.
In addition to class material, the lab has also published several pieces of educational material.

K-12 Material
The lab has also contributed to the development of material for use in K-12 Classrooms.
Bret Klopfenstein, a high school teacher from California, worked with the lab in 2008 to produce a series of videos and activities related to our work on non-consumptive effects.
