Bioinformatics
The Biology Workbench is a computational interface and environment
that permits anybody with a Web browser to readily use bioinformatics,
for research, teaching, or learning. The Education Enhancements
to the Biology Workbench are designed to give a transparent introduction
to the use of the Biology Workbench for learning and teaching biology
at all levels.
Instructional
Library
The Office of Education and Training department of the American
Society for Microbiology (ASM) currently has an instructional library
available at http://www.asmusa.org/edusrc/edu1.htm.
This is an excellent site for instructional resources such as images,
animations, and movies with legends. You will also find classroom
and laboratory activities. If you have any questions regarding these
resources, please contact Denise Steene at dsteene@asmusa.org.
or 202-942-9282.

Courses and Tutorials on the Web
A listing of science courses, tutorials and other points of interest
for science educators, college students and K-12 students. Listings
are by subject area. Subject areas include Cell Biology, General
Sciences, Environment and Oceanography, and Developmental Biology
among others.
Project Laboratories
The Project Laboratories are designed to provide a transition from
standard courses and laboratory experiences to independent research.
Project labs are intense courses, meeting 10 hours/week for 4 credits
(as opposed to regular courses which meet 3-6 hours/week).
CAISER:
Collaborative Approach in Improving Science Education and Research
From the CAISER page: "CAISER is a network of faculty working
together in the development of teaching modules including lectures,
experiments and tutorials, and in the formation of inter-institutional
research. Resources from different universities will be available
to the participants to encourage multi- and inter disciplinary research
and education between faculty and students. Workshops will be established
to design, and evaluate the network¹s projects and role in
overall science education. VideoCom, Web pages, research software
for visualization, modeling and numerical analyses will be used
to facilitate collaboration between these schools. An intensive
dissemination and evaluation procedure will be designed to evaluate
the different activities and function of the network."
Problem
Based Learning
Using interactive case studies to teach fundamental scientific concepts.
Statistics
Online Statistical Textbooks and Courses -- General Statistics and
Introduction to Statistics
Mathematics
Education Resources for Biology Students
A collection of math resources biology students can use as aids
in doing math in biology courses.
Project Kaleidoscope
An alliance of concerned people, institutions and organizations
who are committed to improving science, math, engineering and technology
programs at the undergraduate level.
The Emory Anthropologist: A Journal of Undergraduate Research
The Department of Anthropology is pleased to share some of the finest
work conducted by their undergraduate students during the present
academic year. The papers were selected by a committee comprised
of both students and faculty. Criteria for inclusion included originality
of idea, exemplary use of anthropological inquiry, quality of writing,
scientific analysis, and overall research skill.
