Body

The world is becoming more connected and integrated with technology by the minute, and the academic world is no exception. Students are of the Digital Age, and faculty struggle to keep up. Despite the technological literacy of students, schools and universities still provide the scientific background and applicable tools for rangeland ecology and management careers. Thus, instructors can use technology and online resources as learning tools to develop students’ understanding of scientific fundamentals, core competences, and practical skills necessary for the workplace. Here, we discuss the reasons to use technology and online resources, provide examples applicable to rangeland ecology and management, and discuss considerations when employing technology in teaching.  The Rangelands archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
