The following media modules have been developed to be used as elements of courses, laboratory exercises, and individual training in ethnobotany theory, methods, history and hypotheses. These are produced as episode units covering one topic. In many cases several episodes should be linked to form a cohesive discussion of a topic and because of this the order in which they are viewed may be important.
Modules for published articles, economically important plants, cultural pracitioners, and scientists are also available.
