Sea Change ebook Launch

A marine science ebook entitled Harmful Algal Blooms was launched on Monday 13th March by the Whitaker Institute at NUI Galway. This ebook by Dr Robin Raine is designed to infuse the engaging story of harmful algal blooms into teaching across the sciences. The production used a collaborative design process that has been shaped by feedback from EU partners, teacher consultants, pedagogical educators, scientists, and a research-led design study that involved two classrooms in Ireland, one in Belgium and one in Sweden (encompassing trial feedback on design from 4 teachers and 84 students). Harmful Algal Blooms was funded under the Sea Change Project and is available via the iBookstore, which extends it as free to download in 51 countries.

Pictured at the launch of Harmful Algal Blooms are Prof Colin Brown, Director of the Ryan Institute, Earth and Ocean Sciences, Dr Robin Raine (Author), Dr Veronica McCauley and Dr Kevin Davison (Editors).
