The aim of the project is to equip teaching laboratories with video-imaging and recording systems for use in large-enrollment Introductory Biology courses and an upper-division Parasitology course. This system will allow students to make class presentations by projecting microscopic specimens (prepared slide and wet mount) as well as larger scale experimental set ups and dissections. Use of this video instrumentation is intended to: (1) increase the participation of visually and/or motor impaired students by allowing them to be mainstreamed rather than be segregated from their classmates; (2) enhance class presentations by students in cooperative learning groups; (3) extend the instructional capability of student microscopes, and (4) produce videotapes and videoexams. The goal is to embrace diversity in the classroom by helping disabled students overcome the physical barriers to hands-on learning in the lab and by appealing to the variety of students' learning styles including those who rely mainly on visual stimulation for information processing. The implementation of cooperative learning methods is expected to enhance student learning by requiring students to take responsibility not only for their own learning, but for their group members' learning as well.

该项目的目的是为教学实验室配备 用于大规模登记的视频成像和记录系统 生物学导论课程和高等生物学 当然了 这个系统将允许学生上课 通过投影显微镜标本（准备 滑动和湿安装）以及更大规模实验装置 上半身解剖 使用此视频仪器是 （1）增加视觉和/或 运动障碍学生，让他们融入主流， 而不是与同学隔离;（2）增强 学生在合作学习小组中的课堂演示; (3)扩展学生显微镜的教学能力， （4）制作录像带和录像考试。 目标是 通过帮助残疾学生， 克服实验室动手学习的物理障碍 通过吸引学生学习风格的多样性 包括那些主要依赖视觉刺激的人， 信息处理. 合作社的实施 学习方法，预计将提高学生的学习， 要求学生不仅要对自己的行为负责， 学习，也是为了自己的学习。
