How will students and educators use EOL?
EOL allows a student or teacher to browse the entire living world in a dynamic Web environment. The site will provide a place where they can learn about every species that populates the planet. This one Web site unites mammal, bird, bug, plant, bacteria, etc. in one location, providing in-depth, scientifically valid information of individual species as well as developing a clear understanding of how ecosystems work and change over time and under different conditions. Students and educators will be provided with a wide variety of tools for using the information on the species pages as well as for feeding their own information back into the system. Because it exists on the Web, EOL also allows collaborative, inquiry-based learning to occur within a classroom or across the world.
