In the module category Conceptual learning modules you can find various module designs for different target groups, organized by thematic areas related to understanding human origins, diversity, and flexibility in relation to human well-being and sustainability. We collaborate with scientists and educators around the world to organize, develop, and synthesize interdisciplinary evolution, behavior, and sustainability science into resources that are meaningful and practical for a wide range of classrooms.

Critically, the modules featured here are the result of an ongoing design-based research process. This is therefore not a static and finalized collection of modules or MOOCs. Rather, the OpenEvo learning hub aims to be an educational innovation design lab for motivated students, pre-service and in-service educators, as well as scientists interested in educational innovation around human evolution and behavior. 

Across thematic areas, modules are organized in different formats, including SELF-STUDY (anyone can enroll as an individual learner), INSTRUCTOR-LED (includes resources to teach the module with a cohort and with synchronous elements), and REPOSITORY (an open collection of a variety of resources and activities around various content).
