Wolf research enables humans to better understand wolf behavior, ecology and
conservation. During this course, your students will become familiar with a
variety of tools that researchers use to study wolves. Using Web 2.0 tools,
students will complete this 10-hour plus course using a minimum of three Web
2.0 tools such as Prezi, Google Apps or Animoto, including a discussion forum
where assignments will be posted and reviewed by their peers.
