Online Learning Objects

The Wisconsin Online Resource Center (Wisc-Online) has over 2000 online learning objects in there database that instructors can embed in their websites and lessons. More are being added. Note that this database requires registration to use and covers a wide range of topics. A good place to get some learning objects or find some inspiration for creating learning objects of your own.

If you would like online modules, tutorials or learning objects created for your class, or would like some help getting started, please contact me at library. I’d be happy to help.

Report of Global Forest Partnership

From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2008. http://scout.wisc.edu/

“The World Bank asked the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) to convene a group of key stakeholders in order to consider this question. Over 600 forest experts responded to IIED’s survey or participated in focus groups in Brazil, China, Ghana, and Russia. “

This report is now available in summary and full report form on the Global Forest Partnership website. An interesting look at trying to create a truly global partnership for protecting the world’s forests. It will be interesting to keep an eye on what transpires.
