The Genomics Education Partnership (GEP; thegep.org) is a collaboration of more than 260 faculty from over 200 colleges and universities across the continental United States and Puerto Rico, all of whom are engaged in bringing Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) centered in genomics and bioinformatics to their students. The…

The study aimed to explore the role of e-portfolios in supporting active student engagement in chemistry learning within postgraduate education in Rwanda. The researchers adopted the qualitative descriptive approach, in which a random sample of 4 chemistry students at the University of Rwanda, African Centre of Excellence for Innovative Teaching…

The use of large language models (LLMs) in education is often debated, but when used effectively, they can enhance learning. LLMs can be particularly useful for reinforcing physiology concepts, such as diagnostic reasoning in acid-base balance disorders. Traditional case-based learning is limited by the number of instructor-provided cases, whereas…

Challenge: While hands-on laboratory experiences are an important component of biomedical engineering curricula, many of the topics which would often benefit most from these experiences are often too time-, space-, and resource-intensive to incorporate into laboratory classes. One such topic is electrophysiology, where phenomena are hard to…

To address existing challenges in teaching theoretical mechanics and enhance instructional quality, the teaching team implemented innovative reforms. Guided by a "student-centered" philosophy and powered by digital intelligence technologies with "Chaoxing" AI as the engine, the course reconstructed a three-dimensional objective…

A disadvantage that A&P classrooms using 3-D digital computer anatomical models experience is the disconnect between digital and physical models traditionally used. This project used 3-D digital models on smart tablets and traditional physical models for in-class A&P lab practical exam studying and preparation. We focused on the hands-on…

Interest in virtual laboratory simulations as a pedagogical tool continues to grow, given the advantages of flexibility, scalability, technology integration, and interactive visualizations. We developed a laboratory model that integrates virtual lab simulations (VLS) and traditional in-person (IP) lab experiences for targeted skill development. In…
