Roberts; Meredith A. Shaddix; Bridgette N. Sullivan; Isabella M. Swan; Emily M. Hartsell; Jeffrey D. DeMeis; Sunita S. Paudel; Glen M. Borchert – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Today, due to the size of many genomes and the increasingly large sizes of sequencing files, independently analyzing sequencing data is largely impossible for a biologist with little to no programming expertise. As such, biologists are typically faced with the dilemma of either having to spend a significant amount of time and effort to learn how…

Lin, Yu-Shih; Chang, Yi-Chun; Chu, Chih-Ping – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2016
The grouping problem is critical in collaborative learning (CL) because of the complexity and difficulty in adequate grouping, based on various grouping criteria and numerous learners. Previous studies have paid attention to certain research questions, and the consideration for a number of learner characteristics has arisen. Such a multi-objective…
