Topic in Brief
"... my goal is to program an interactive biological simulation to teach important molecular biology techniques to users of various knowledge levels. My current objective right now is the first module, which will focus on cell culture. Once that module is complete, and if time permits, I will continue onto the next module focusing on molecular cloning."
Hi Rachael,
Do you have/want/need articles that may show the success of simulation to teach users who are unfamiliar with certain fields’ jargon/techniques?

Rachael,
These are the results (see link above) from a library catalog search of

SummarySpatial understanding of molecules in molecular biology provides a better understanding of molecules in isolation and relation to their next elements. Augmented reality (AR) has recently been developed as a computer interface that enables the users to see the real world with virtual objects superimposed on it. We report a method that shows the use of AR and data provided from protein data bank (PDB) to facilitate the teaching of macromolecules in biology. Users can easily convert the molecules structures obtained from PDB to a 3D format and use it with an AR application to study the molecules from different perspectives. A sample of 60 college students was assigned randomly to one of two conditions namely 2D and AR. At the end of the experiment, participants completed a comprehensive test and then a satisfaction questionnaire. The results of the study showed a significant difference between 2D and AR in satisfaction, the media usability, perception, and apprehension.

Rethinking University Teaching by Call Number: ebook - see Chapter 7ISBN: 9781136409059Publication Date: 2013-07-04Teachers in higher education have had to become more professional in their approach to teaching, matching their professionalism in research. The first edition of this book prepares teachers to do and undergo quality audits and appraisals, and to achieve their personal aims of improving their teaching and their students' learning. The strength of this book is that it provides a sound theoretical basis for designing and using learning technologies in university teaching. This new edition builds upon the success of the first and contains major updates to the information on learning technologies and includes the implications of using technology for the university context - both campus and electronic - which suggests a new approach to managing learning at institutional level.
