Fit for Online Learning (FitFOL) is designed to support Higher Education professionals with little or no previous online teaching experience in their transition to alternative modes of course delivery. We understand the challenges the current situation presents to both professors and students, but we believe that with the right knowledge and strategies, many of the hurdles of teaching online can be overcome and its possibilities will unfold.

In this course, you will take practical steps towards teaching and supporting your students online.

Biodiversity Conservation in Canada: From Theory to Practice book cover

Biodiversity Conservation in Canada: From Theory to Practice

CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike)   English

Author(s): Richard R Schneider

Subject(s): Conservation of wildlife and habitats, Biodiversity

Institution(s): University of Alberta

Publisher: University of Alberta Library

Last updated: 16/05/2023

Conservation is often portrayed as an applied science—a body of knowledge about how ecological systems function, how they are threatened, and how they can be maintained. Conservation is also a form of management. It entails working with people to achieve desired ecological outcomes, grappling with conflicting land-use objectives, and making optimal use of available conservation resources. The aim of this book is to build a bridge between these two perspectives, linking theory with practice.

Major topic areas include the history of conservation, the social and scientific foundations of conservation, threats to biodiversity, applied conservation methods at both the species and ecosystem levels, the accommodation of climate change, and structured decision making. Special attention is given to topics that are the subject of debate or controversy, as they provide valuable insight into the practical aspects of conservation. The narrative is focused specifically on Canada. This permits an integrated treatment, where conservation theory is presented in the context of the social and institutional framework responsible for its implementation. The result is a comprehensive synthesis of applied conservation, tailored to the needs of conservation students and practitioners in Canada. Learning is supported by an engaging and clear writing style and 196 colour illustrations.

The OER by Discipline Guide: University of Calgary developed by Libraries and Cultural Resources staff supports faculty in locating quality open educational resources in their subject area by providing curated lists of OER organized according to the faculties, departments, and subjects at UCalgary. The Open Educational Resources within this guide have been evaluated by faculty, librarians, and other relevant parties prior to inclusion. The lists of OER in each discipline are not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a sample of the key resources available.
