Purdue University
The Purdue University Department of Agricultural Communications, in cooperation with the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant program, are in the process of developing a number of educational opportunities and products including a CD-ROM, an interactive satellite videoconference, and four educational videos on the subject of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha). To help make sure that we produce materials and educational opportunities that you and other members of our intended audience find useable and useful, we need to know a little about your current knowledge regarding the zebra mussel. We also need to make sure we match the delivery method with the technology you have available and with which you are comfortable.
