International
Union for Conservation of Nature [Macromedia Flash Player,
pdf]
http://cms.iucn.org/
The goal of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
is to help "the world find pragmatic solutions to our most
pressing environment and development challenges." To accomplish
this broad set of goals, they manage field projects across the globe,
support scientific research, and also bring a variety of stake-holders
together to work on developing meaningful policies and laws. The
best way to find out more about their work
is to glance over the news stories featured on their homepage. Visitors
here will find everything from reports on restoring mangrove swamps
in Myanmar to the global population status of different oceanic
sharks and rays. After that, it's a short jump to the "What
we do" area, which will lead users to a thematic list of all
of their projects organized around "Species", "Ecosystems",
and "Issues". Next up is the "Resources" area,
which presents a formidable array of IUCN position papers, research
works, conference documents and so on. Additionally, this area also
contains the "Tools for Organizations" section, which
offers up a number of "how to guides" that cover conservation
management, assessment and monitoring, and conservation policy.

Schreyer Institute
for Teaching Excellence: Tools for Teaching and Learning
[pdf]
http://www.schreyerinstitute.psu.edu/Tools/
Colleges and universities around the world have embarked on a new
era of assisting teachers with their classroom manner and organization.
The Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence at Pennsylvania State
University has created this site to give educators access to a wide
range of excellent teaching and learning tools. The materials and
resources here are divided into the following sections: "Course
Design and Planning", "Teaching and Assessment Strategies",
"Tools for Course Evaluation", "Tools for University
Assessment", and "Scholarship of Teaching and Learning".
Within these sections, users can read and download specific activities
geared towards syllabus improvement, writing effective and meaningful
tests, and incorporating problem-based activities into the classroom.
Overall, the site is well designed and it is one that educators
and the like will want to pass along to their colleagues across
campus. [KMG]
