University officials said the new MOOCfor ecological toxicology was presented by Meng Ziqiang, Zhang Quanxi and other teachers from SXU’s Institute of Environmental Science – and officially started on its website on Oct 14.
Ecological toxicology is a basic specialty course for the environment, ecology and environmental ecological engineering majors.
Meng Ziqiang, a SXU teacher, is the editor in chief of the textbook used in this course.
According to SXU authorities the textbook was reformulated -- on the basis of previous textbooks -- and contains the latest research, progress and achievements in scientific research and teaching in ecotoxicology to have taken place in recent years.
