Priority will be given to instructors who express interest by December 12th, but we will consider other applications on a rolling basis. We will meet with all instructors teaching these modules in early January 2026.

If interested in participating in this study, we will ask you to use approximately 1 week of your course (2-3 classes) to implement our module on adaptation and have students fill out a survey that characterizes their experiences with the module before&after interacting w/ provided course material.

To test the efficacy of this module, we have designed an experiment that manipulates the module to feature either traditional examples of adaptation (e.g., bird beaks) or examples that ask students to consider how adaptationist thinking may be misapplied to humans during the 2nd part of instruction.

Our interdisciplinary collaboration, known as the Resources for Inclusive Evolution Education (RIE2) group, has generated teaching modules that take a new approach to presenting several complex concepts in evolutionary biology. qubeshub.org/community/gr...

Undergrad students often forget about genetic drift as an evolutionary process/ force. If you've also experienced this, we might have a solution for you! Our RIE2 (resources for inclusive evolution education) working group just published a week-length drift module: qubeshub.org/publications...

If you teach ecology and evolution and you are not aware of #RIE2 (Resources for Inclusive Evolution Education) it is time to take a look. This blog post is a good intro to the project and their first round of modules. genestogenomes.org/unlocking-un... qubeshub.org/community/gr... #BioQUEST
