The proposed computer system implements a scheme of joint-classroom and distance learning, scientific and exploratory research in order to motivate and stimulate students' independent work in acquiring professional competencies. The developed system reflects both the traditional structure of education in universities using groups of students,…

Structural biology education commonly employs molecular visualization software, such as PyMol, RasMol, and VMD, to allow students to appreciate structure--function relationships in biomolecules. In on-ground, classroom-based education, these programs are commonly used on University-owned devices with software preinstalled. Remote education…

COVID-19 resulted in a pivot to remote teaching and learning in most North American colleges and universities. All of a sudden faculty expected students to use a variety of digital technologies.
