Submissions


We are seeking educational materials that have been utilized in animal behavior-related courses at CUNY. This encompasses a range of disciplines, including psychology courses such as Cognition, Learning, Sensation & Perception, as well as courses in Anthropology, Biology, Conservation, and Ecology.

There are 3 types of submissions:

  1. Link to an Educational Resource
    • These are resources that can be used in the classroom (videos, online simulations) or can be assigned to students (readings, videos, etc.). Ideally, these can be combined to create “Zero Textbook Cost” courses.

  2. Available Teaching Materials
    • These are teaching materials (assignments, activities, syllabi) that are available on the web, that you have used in an animal behavior-related course.
    • You have the option to include your adjustments or recommendations for the material.

  3. Original Teaching Materials
    • These are teaching materials you created or someone else has created that you have permission to share.
