Course implementation

To date, Macrosystems EDDIE modules have been implemented and assessed in life science courses at a wide range of higher education institutions, ranging from small, primarily undergraduate institutions to large, research-focused universities (Table S1; Carey et al. 2020, Hounshell et al. 2021). Notably, as all materials are publicly available, instructors can integrate modules into their curricula independently of module developers. Below, we provide three examples of courses in which Macrosystems EDDIE ecological forecasting modules have been implemented (following Fig. 1). These examples were selected to illustrate both the breadth of courses across which the modules have been applied, as well as the various ways in which instructors choose to adapt Macrosystems EDDIE ecological forecasting materials for their classes. Institutional designations are provided following the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education (https://carnegieclassifications.acenet.edu/).
