This session provides opportunities for ESA members to share and learn what their colleagues are doing to engage their undergraduate students using student-active methods. Instructors at all levels of experience are encouraged to participate.  This session will break into small groups so that participants can 1) present their educational activities and learning outcomes; 2) offer feedback and suggestions on ways each activity can be improved, tailored, and/or adapted for use in different learning environments; and 3) foster a network of support in advancing ecology education. The session will provide information on digital publishing options provided through ESA’s EcoEd Digital Library and Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE).

This is the 6th Annual REEFS Session organized by ESA Office of Education and Diversity Programs in partnership with the ESA Education Section.  The workshop also serves as a forum for ecology educators to network and talk about the science and art of teaching and learning in order to advance the goals of Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education.

ESA archives all the presented activities online at http://www.esa.org/esa/?page_id=8773. Participants who present their activities are also encouraged to submit their activities to EcoEdDL with the appropriate metadata to facilitate their discovery by other educators.
