Guzmán, José Luis; Joseph, Babu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Virtual labs have proven to be very versatile and valuable for providing realistic experience for students in STE (Science, Technology, and Engineering) fields. As we progress from delivery of instructional material from classroom to the Internet, there is need to develop laboratory exercises to supplement the theoretical lessons. A Web-based…

Soraya, Gita Vita; Astari, Dian Ekayanti; Natzir, Rosdiana; Yustisia, Ika; Kadir, Syahrijuita; Hardjo, Marhaen; Nurhadi, Asty Amalia; Ulhaq, Zulvikar Syambani; Rasyid, Haerani; Budu, Budu – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
The pandemic caused major shifts in the delivery of education worldwide. In the teaching of medical biochemistry, the greatest impact was towards the delivery of traditional laboratory simulations. In this study, we highlight the benefits and barriers encountered in the use of virtual laboratories (vLABs) to substitute traditional laboratory…

Quesada, Víctor – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread lock-down strategies that force universities to perform all educational activities remotely. In this context, laboratory lessons pose a significant challenge. Here, I present an on-line tool that simulates the kinetics of chemical reactions. Enzymatic mechanisms can be easily modeled and followed…

Ibrahim, Gehan H.; Morcos, George N. B.; Ghaly, Wael Botros AbuAlyamin; Hassan, Mohamed Talal; Hussein, Usama A.; Nadim, Hany S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
After the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increasing demand for remote learning and an expansion in the substitution of traditional practical sessions with lab-based virtual tools. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of virtual labs in practicing biochemical experiments and to examine the student's feedback regarding this tool. Virtual…

Brandt, Gabriel S.; Novak, Walter R. P. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Colleges and universities are learning to provide relevant virtual lab experiences for students due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even schools attempting in-person instruction often need to utilize virtual experiences for students absent due to quarantine or illness. Much of biochemistry is amenable to molecular visualization and/or computational…

Caño de las Heras, Simoneta; Kensington-Miller, Barbara; Young, Brent; Gonzalez, Vicente; Krühne, Ulrich; Mansouri, Seyed Soheil; Baroutian, Saeid – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Engineering education is facing major challenges as it seeks to provide necessary and robust practical experience for all its undergraduate students. The limitation of resources (capital and operational), the increasing number of engineering students and the need to provide safe, up-to-date laboratory experiences have become global issues.…

Avci, Filiz – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Virtual laboratories have started to be the leading alternative teaching tools during the COVID-19 pandemic process. The "Acid-Base" subject is among those that form the foundations of biochemistry. Students can learn the "Acid-Base" subject in a secure environment, with remote access through the use of virtual laboratory…

Mayes, Howard; Wong, Chung F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
A new program, ECEP2D, for simulating the one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) patterns of the gel electrophoresis of a protein after it has been digested by one or more enzymes is introduced. With ECEP2D, students can gain deeper insights into gel electrophoresis by performing hands-on simulations. For example, students can visualize how…

Klinke, Sebastián; Rinaldi, Jimena; Goldbaum, Fernando A.; Suarez, Sebastián; Otero, Lisandro H. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
X-ray crystallography provides structural information of molecules at the atomic level, being a central technique at the forefront of science and technology. However, crystallography teaching is not usually implemented in biochemistry lab classes due to its complex execution by nonexpert users. Here, we report the basic step-by-step workflow…

Coan, Heather A.; Goehle, Geoff; Youker, Robert T. – Journal of Teaching and Learning, 2020
The commercialization of virtual reality (VR) hardware has enabled the use of VR as an educational tool. We describe how a VR platform was used to create molecular visualizations using standard PDB files with the purpose of delivering biochemistry and cellular biology lessons for undergraduates. Specifically, we describe two new software modules,…

Gao, Ruomei; Lloyd, Judith; Kim, Youngjoo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The COVID-19 outbreak has altered chemistry laboratory instruction and forced us to reconsider the balance between face-to-face and online teaching. Our students preferred face-to-face teaching (score 4.1/5 on a Likert-like scale) to virtual laboratory exercises (3.4/5) despite the fact that their performance score was actually lower in…
