Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 http://home.austarnet.com.au/wormman/wormwhat.htm What Is Worm Learn? WormLearn is an online parasitology information package designed for anyone who'd like to find out some more information about parasitic worms and other critters that have a tendency to share our personal space. WormLearn grew out of the now sadly defunct Queensland University of Technology Parasitology Pages, a collection of parasitology images I put together in 1994/1995 to help students enrolled in medical parasitology subjects at QUT. These pages proved to be more popular outside the university than in, and I received hundreds of letters either thanking me for the resource or asking further questions. Since the pages were big on pictures and small on information, I had always planned to update them, and make them slightly more suitable for a wider audience. WormLearn is an amalgam of the images site and a loose collection of talks and seminars on parasitology I gave to school children, community groups and other lay audiences while I was supposed to be getting my PhD thesis written up. It has evolved into more of an educational resource for teachers (especially junior and senior secondary school), which fits my change in career path. However, I'd hope that it contains something of interest for everyone. WormLearn is not intended to be an extensive course in parasitology - universities have entire degree course to try to do that. The information provided is a collection of basic information from texts and research, liberally intermixed with folklore. I really try hard to point out the folklore, but if you spot some howlers that I've let through unnoticed, please let me know. For more information on what WormLearn is and is not, please read the disclaimer. WormLearn Logo Take me back to the main page . . . This page Copyright 1997 Dr Peter Darben.
