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.
