The purpose of these workshops was to share the 3P's approach to teaching and learning with other colleagues, and to demonstrate how software could serve as effective tools to enable biology instructors to implement this approach in their secondary or post-secondary school courses. The purpose of this writing workshop was to provide time for a select group of undergraduate faculty to share ideas, to develop and write curricular or instructional tools, activities, and materials for introductory and non-majors undergraduate level biology courses based on the 3P's. Thirty-seven faculty attended this workshop. The focus of this workshop was in the areas of ecology and evolution. Development occurred with attention to the diversity of two and four year undergraduate campuses regarding such issues as class size, availability of laboratory and computer equipment and supplies, student assessment, and transferability to real world issues.
