B.I.O. places a wealth of educational material and resources online with
its broad range of e-learning courses promoting pioneering dimensions
in bio-education. The hope is to infuse new thinking in environmental
education and to enrich the concepts of sustainable development.
The
14 e-learning courses have been designed to provide a
basic understanding of each topic from an environmental perspective. Each
course module varies in length (5-9 weeks) and includes self-evaluation
questions, quizzes and a final essay. We estimate that completion of a
course would require from 20 to 50 hours, depending on the topic. Each
enrolee will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course.
All courses are free of charge.
