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 network?s 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.
