Vanessa Ayer Miller; Timothy Marks; Dorothea K. Thompson – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2025
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…

Hanson, Pamela K.; Stultz, Laura K. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) allow students to apply the scientific method to novel questions, which can serve as a gateway for mentored research. Here, we present a model for using cross-disciplinary CUREs to vertically integrate courses from different disciplines. This approach creates opportunities for students to (1)…

Hubbard, Brittany A.; Jones, Grayson C.; Gallardo-Williams, Maria T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
As a means to encourage engagement in a large introductory organic chemistry class, students were tasked with the creation of digital tutorials for specific problems sourced from the assigned class textbook. Students had the freedom to choose how to produce their tutorials as long as the final product was a digital object suitable for sharing with…

Vaara, Riikka-Liisa; Gomes Sasaki, Daniel Guilherme – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2019
This work address the preconceptions of first year engineering students about the kinematic graphs and the outcomes of a pedagogical strategy that relies on Predict -- Observe -- Explain learning method mediated by a video analysis software. The whole learning procedure was accompanied by a written material as students' worksheets which enabled a…

Goller, Carlos C.; Ott, Laura E. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Metagenomics is a tool that enables researchers to study genetic material recovered directly from microbial communities or microbiomes. Fueled by advances in sequencing technologies, bioinformatics tools, and sample processing, metagenomics studies promise to expand our understanding of human health and the use of microorganisms for agriculture…

Olitsky, Stacy; Becker, Elizabeth A.; Jayo, Ignacio; Vinogradov, Philip; Montcalmo, Joseph – Research in Science Education, 2020
This study explores the implications of a redesign of a college course that entailed a new partnership between a college neuroscience classroom and a high school. In this course, the college students engaged in original research projects which included conducting brain surgery and behavioural tests on rats. They used digital storytelling and…

Barmaki, Roghayeh; Yu, Kevin; Pearlman, Rebecca; Shingles, Richard; Bork, Felix; Osgood, Greg M.; Navab, Nassir – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2019
Students in undergraduate premedical anatomy courses may experience suboptimal and superficial learning experiences due to large class sizes, passive lecture styles, and difficult-to-master concepts. This study introduces an innovative, hands-on activity for human musculoskeletal system education with the aim of improving students' level of…

Paetkau, Mark; Bissonnette, Dan; Taylor, Colin – Physics Teacher, 2013
Computer simulations (we use the word liberally here to include applets, animations, apps, etc.) have been making steady progress as teaching tools. Large collections of simulations, created by individuals and by groups, are freely available. More recently, research on the effectiveness of simulations as teaching tools, particularly focused on the…

Palazzo, Teresa A.; Truong, Tiana T.; Wong, Shirley M. T.; Mack, Emma T.; Lodewyk, Michael W.; Harrison, Jason G.; Gamage, R. Alan; Siegel, Justin B.; Kurth, Mark J.; Tantillo, Dean J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
An applied computational chemistry laboratory exercise is described in which students use modern quantum chemical calculations of chemical shifts to assign the structure of a recently isolated natural product. A pre/post assessment was used to measure student learning gains and verify that students demonstrated proficiency of key learning…

Basey, John M.; Maines, Anastasia P.; Francis, Clinton D.; Melbourne, Brett – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2014
We examined the effects of documenting observations with digital imaging versus hand drawing in inquiry-based college biodiversity labs. Plant biodiversity labs were divided into two treatments, digital imaging (N = 221) and hand drawing (N = 238). Graduate-student teaching assistants (N = 24) taught one class in each treatment. Assessments…
