Conservation Science Education Online (CSEO) is an online educational resource that specifically aims to overcome challenges in teaching science in cultural heritage. This resource is designed to aid educators teaching science by providing topic modules with examples from heritage science, such as conservation. The aim is to develop meaningful ways of conveying complex scientific concepts that students need to understand. The resource provides well-developed teaching strategies, case studies, laboratories, and problem-based learning examples tailored for the cultural heritage community, using images, videos and anecdotal methods proved to be valuable in teaching. Included are concepts (referred to as threshold concept) or tasks that can be difficult for students to learn or for educators to teach effectively, but that are deemed critical to the field.
