Instructors Use and Publish
with the Education Center
The new APSnet Education Center is designed to benefit both students and
instructors. K–12 teachers and instructors in plant pathology, biology, and
microbiology can choose from the many freely-accessible online materials to
enrich their courses. Teaching notes and articles provide a means to contribute
to the scholarship of plant pathology pedagogy. Instructors can receive
recognition for contributing materials to the site. All materials are peer reviewed and citable as publications in
The Plant Health Instructor. Even plant pathologists who never enter a classroom can contribute
their knowledge and insights to students worldwide by publishing materials in
the APSnet Education Center or by becoming an online mentor.
Students and Professionals
Access Materials
Available Nowhere Else
Students have access to quality instructional materials created by a variety
of instructors with expertise in many areas. The resources may also be used for
continuing education. Plant health professionals and extension clientele can
review basic knowledge and update their education in quickly changing areas.
Online, peer-reviewed publication assures accurate and current information with
color images and other instructional technologies not available in traditional
textbooks.
I encourage you to visit www.apsnet.org/education
to enrich your courses.
Complete plant disease lessons, an illustrated glossary, resource guides, and a
number of other items are already available. I also invite you to contribute to
the APSnet Education Center and share your expertise with students around the
world.
