The GeneConvene Academy is an online learning platform created to promote understanding of genetic approaches for controlling public health, as well as agricultural and environmental pests. As a component of the GeneConvene Virtual Institute, a knowledge hub for information on genetic biocontrol technologies, the Academy offers interactive mini-courses and other training resources for anyone wishing to learn about genetic biocontrol or to refresh and expand their knowledge on the subject.
This lesson uses an active learning approach to discuss the mechanisms of gene drives, and it exposes students to an example gene drive from a previously published primary literature study. The lesson ends with a bioethics activity in which students propose their own ideas for guidelines regulating gene drives. This course was developed by Ethan A. Rundell from Emory University and available in the platform CourseSource.
