Abstract
CephSchool is based on CephBase and takes the information present in CephBase´s digital libraries and redirects it towards students and teachers. CephSchool is organized into eight arms and contains information about cephalopods, discussion topics, teacher support, and student assessment techniques. These provide an accurate and inquiry base-learning environment for students to learn basic biological concepts using cephalopods as the subject organism by giving them a dynamic Web page that is updated, as new information is made available.
