Collaborative Case-based Learning for Introductory Biology Students Using Molecular Biology Computer Simulations and Internet Conferencing.

Mark Bergland, UW-River Falls


This presentation updates Case It!, an NSF-sponsored project to engage introductory biology students in critical thinking and problem-solving by making topics in molecular biology more interesting and relevant. Open-ended computer simulations integrated with internet conferencing will facilitate collaborative case-based learning among teams of students at a variety of educational institutions across the nation and the world.
