Ecological Project Compendium

The EPC is an innovative resource for lecturers and others teaching ecology in Higher Education. The EPC is still accepting contributions of successful practical exercises in ecology ranging from examples of student-centred learning and project case studies to more lecturer-directed activities and effective strategies for dealing with large student groups. You do not need to be a member of the BES to make a contribution to this new resource.
