Using Digital Organism Evolutionary Software in the Classroom
Appleton, Luke; Mackie, Joshua
American Biology Teacher, v81 n1 p12-17 Jan 2019
We review software for exploring biological evolution from a fun and educational perspective. Our goal is to provide a background explanation of the methods used, terminology, and user experience, and learning outcomes of desktop and mobile evolutionary simulators. Freeware and commercial programs are detailed, with a discussion of how certain software packages can be used in introducing evolutionary theory.
