This discussion paper will report on the development, trial and evaluation of an initial pilot, and invites suggestions and constructive criticism from interested peers. The online biosphere will be trialled in semester 2, 2015, with a prototype biosphere environment consisting of background stories contextualising one narrative and associated problem-solving learning activity relevant to two second year subjects, Animal Nutrition (AGR2AN) and Biochemistry for Agricultural and Animal Sciences (AGR2BAA).
