Enrich Your Curriculum

This annotative bibliography of resources was informed by the expressed needs of staff and students during a series of focus sessions within UCC as well external partners within the Green Campus Network and the Irish regional chapter of the EAUC. 

The initial intent was for teaching enhancement for lectures and/or virtual learning environments; however, it may also serve as a resource for student inquiry.  We hope to upgrade this webpage with a search feature but in the meantime, you may find the Control-F or Apple-F functions useful.

This resource is organized into the following categories:
