Welcome to BIOL 108! This course is designed for the non-science major as a review of contemporary and historical advances in biology. Topics of study include evolution and the diversity of life, the spectrum of animal and plant life, and ecology.

My podcasts are mostly pre-recorded video screencasts in which I explain and illustrate fundamental biological concepts in order to supplement students’ learning in a Blended course environment. I use a digital tablet to annotate photographs and diagrams, and draw simple sketches that students can copy as they follow along. Most of my podcasts are 5-minutes in length, with several related podcasts grouped together into 10 to 15-minute sets.

I hope you find my podcasts a helpful addition to your biology studies! Your comments and feedback are appreciated!
