He is also the author of Teaching Biological Evolution in Higher Education: Methodological, Religious, and Non-Religious Issues which he says is "a book specifically about the conflict that instructors see students bring into their courses concerning evolution". Alters and Alters have also written Defending Evolution, with a foreword by Stephen Jay Gould, which aims to help science teachers to understand the creation-evolution controversy and to teach evolution effectively in light of the controversy. He also contributed a chapter to the a chapter in Not in Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design is Wrong for Our Schools, edited by Eugenie Scott and Glenn Branch of the NCSE.Because of this specialization, he was an expert witness for the plaintiffs in the 2005 case Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District. He was also brought in for the retrial of Selman v. Cobb County before that was settled out of court in favor of the plaintiffs.In 2003 Alters was first awarded the College of Education's highest teaching award, the Distinguished Teaching Award, followed by the Principal's Prize for Excellence in Teaching at McGill University.In 2005 he was appointed to the board of directors of the American-based National Center for Science Education and received its "friend of Darwin" award.In 2008 Alters became a co-host of CBC Television's nationally-broadcast prime-time science series Project X. His co-hosts are Dr. Jennifer Gardy (bioinformatics/microbiology at the University of British Columbia), Dr. Brian Fleck (professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta), and Marc Huot (Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Alberta).".
