Enhancing Biology and Psychology Laboratories Through the Use of Networked Laboratory Workstations

9452481法语该项目加强和整合了生物和心理学系的设施，并改善了普通教育(生物和心理学)和高级(心理学)课程的非生物和心理学学生的实验室体验。通过校园网连接的两个实验室和两个学习中心配备了计算机控制的实验室设备(分光光度计、氧气探头、图像分析仪、A/D转换器)，使学生能够进行计算机辅助实验和复习练习。广泛使用交互式多媒体(数字化视频、音频和视盘)、虚拟仪器、模拟和在线查阅教科书是对所有实验室的补充。这些设备为普通教育生物学课程提供了改进的练习，其不同寻常的、或许是独特的生态学、遗传学和进化论课程，并允许研究人员将实验室经验引入缺乏实验室经验的心理学课程中。

9452481 French The project enhances and integrates facilities in the biology and psychology departments and improves the laboratory experiences of non-biology and psychology students enrolled in general-education (biology and psychology) and upper division (psychology) courses. Two laboratories and two learning centers, connected via the campus network, have been outfitted with computer controlled laboratory equipment (spectrophotometers, oxygen probes, image analyzers, A/D converters to allow students to engage in computer-assisted experimentation and to review exercises. Extensive use of interactive multimedia (digitized video and audio and videodiscs), virtual instruments, simulations and on-line access to textbooks supplement all laboratories. The equipment provides for improved exercises for a general-education biology course, with its unusual and perhaps unique curriculum of ecology, genetics and evolution, and allowed the investigators to introduce laboratory experiences into the psychology courses that lacked them.
