E. O. Wilson’s Life on Earth is an innovative new iBooks Textbook for high 
school biology students created by the E. O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation. 
Available for free on the iBooks Store, Life on Earth is accompanied by an 
iTunes U course called Biology: Life on Earth. The iTunes U course brings 
together content from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, 
National Geographic, the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) and other institutions 
with content emphasizing important themes like citizen science, evolution, 
climate change, and the protection of biodiversity. 

Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) content and resource are available in the first 
section of the course: Unity and Diversity of Life on Earth. Activities 
include an audio interview with E.O. Wilson, creating virtual collections of 
species and accessing the biodiversity resources available through EOL’s 
iTunes U collections.
