Course Guide and Learning Activities
The course guide is to be used by the leader of a workshop or anyone else wishing to lead a group of students through the complete set of coordinated materials of the Rediscovering Biology project. It provides the necessary guidelines and information to ensure that the videos, chapters, and learning activities are presented in the order in which they were intended for maximum educational benefit.

Each unit contains several learning activities tailored to the information in the unit. These activities include simple review and discussion questions; exercises that demonstrate how data are generated, interpreted, and applied; explorations of ethical issues; and consideration of how the information relates to other fields. Most of the activities assume the participants are familiar with the unit's video and online text, and provide a higher level at which to test the user's knowledge of the unit.
