I played a small part in a recent paper published in Oikos, examining the current and potential future challenges facing teachers and students of ecology at all academic levels. This paper was the result of a fantastic meeting held at the Open University in 2019, bringing together a diverse group of teachers of ecology, and led by Julia Cooke and Zen Lewis. We identified a range of challenges facing students and teachers, including an increasing disconnect between society and nature, the expense and accessibility problems associated with running field trips, and the lack of diversity in ecology research. We also suggested solutions to these problems, many of which could be aided by new technologies.
