Welcome to CAMEL
Climate, Adaptation, Mitigation, E-Learning
Resource for Educators
CAMEL is a free, COMPHREHENSIVE, INTERDISCIPLINARY, ONLINE RESOURCE for educators about CLIMATE CHANGE.
This resource will provide access to existing peer reviewed climate change resources, allowing you to develop new climate change materials, or enhance your current climate-related course.
Within this resource, you will be to able to add your own materials to the collection, share ideas, opportunities, needs, and experiences with fellow experts, teachers and students as you develop your own customized curricular climate change materials.
Background
CAMELs origins lie in conversations among members of the Council of Environmental Deans and Directors (CEDD). Recognizing a need for accessible, useful and valid materials for teaching about climate change at the undergraduate level, CEDD members developed the idea of CAMEL. Funding from the National Science Foundation supports the project, and funding from NASA allowed the development of an initial set of curricular materials.
Content
CAMEL content is located in two places; on this site and on the Encyclopedia of Earth. Unvetted materials can be posted directly to this site. In addition, the Encyclopedia of Earth, a refereed collection of articles, data, graphics, teaching modules, and other materials, contains extensive educational resources. The CAMEL community will work best when members contribute what they have developed, and build on the creations of others. If you have a contribution--a teaching module, a data set, a useful graphic--please add it to our collection. If you wish to have it vetted, you may request that it be reviewed through the Encyclopedia of Earth process. Each curricular article published there is assigned a standardized citation.
Networking
Networking within CAMEL can be as simple as posting a discussion about a resource you have used or would like. It can be as extensive as developing and teaching a course in parallel with other faculty across the country, with students and faculty interacting through a range of web 2.0 tools.
On-line platform
Within the CAMEL site, you can create your own teaching website. On your request, CAMEL will provide a basic site from which you have access to the entire CAMEL collection. You can organize the collection to fit your teaching needs, add your own content, invite students, other faculty, and guests to participate, and use the site to supplement your classroom or distance education teaching. Some of the teaching modules on the CAMEL site are designed to let classes at different institutions explore the same topics, ideas, and materials, and interact with each other while doing so.
