These resources describe how the module was adapted for use in different settings. We hope these stories inspire your own use of the module and give you insight into how to adapt the materials for your classroom.
I used the Ocean Sustainability units in my physical geography course at Southwestern College, a two-year community college. The hands-on applications of working with real data sets aligned with the course objectives for this course that is required for students seeking an A.A. degree and transfer (articulation with University requirements). There were 27 students in the course, and the materials were taught in three-hour laboratory sessions, two units at a time. The students were engaged during the lessons and inspired about ocean stewardship upon completion of all the units.
I piloted the Ocean Sustainability module over ~4 weeks in an introductory marine biology course with ~55 students. The course is not a requirement and typically has a range of majors, from zoology to environmental science and policy. The materials were taught at the end of the semester and made up about 40% of the class curriculum.
I used the Ocean Sustainability Module in my introductory physical oceanography course at Santa Monica College, a two-year junior college. The class met in two 80-minute lecture sessions per week for 16 weeks; the module was implemented in the last three weeks of the course.

Ellen Wisner, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
I used material from three different Integrate modules in my General Biology II course. This is the second biology course taken by majors at UNCC, and covers evolution, animal and plant structure and function, and ecology. As a part of the course students do a service learning project related to sustainability. These modules helped to incorporate more discussion of topics related to sustainability in the course, and helped to better link their service learning project to the material covered during class.
