This project introduces a four-module protein theme into the Computer-Assisted-Science-Education (CASE) biology lab to improve lab-to-lab and course-to-course continuity. Lab modules involve experimentation, computerized analysis of results, and linking of results to material on the World Wide Web and elsewhere on the Internet. Module themes are reinforced by concept review kiosks in the classroom corridors and by computer-controlled multimedia material in the classroom. To update the CASE lab, the project involves acquiring Macintosh Power PC computers and Logal instrument Interface bundles and networking the computers to a server and to the Internet. Lab instructions are produced as HyperText Markup Language documents located on the server. Also located on the server are a commercial networkable database, statistical analysis package, and a multi-user version of HyperCard. The kiosks house computers with continuously running HyperCard stacks that provide spoken pronunciation of terms, definitions, and illustrations where useful. The programs can be manipulated through touch screen controls. Identical programs are available to students in the Learning Resource Center (LRC). Kiosk and LRC computers can be networked to the CASE lab for ease of maintenance and updating. Mobile stand-alone computer carts with multimedia control devices enable instructors to refer to the lab modules while in the classroom and also to reinforce the protein themes through use of laser discs, videocassettes, and CD-ROMs .

该项目将四个模块的蛋白质主题引入计算机辅助科学教育（CASE）生物实验室，以提高实验室与实验室和课程之间的连续性。实验室模块包括实验、结果的计算机分析以及结果与万维网和互联网上其他地方的材料的链接。模块主题通过教室走廊上的概念复习亭和教室里的计算机控制的多媒体材料得到加强。 为了更新CASE实验室，该项目涉及购买Macintosh Power PC计算机和Logal仪器接口包，并将计算机联网到服务器和互联网。实验说明以超文本标记语言文档的形式生成，位于服务器上。服务器上还有一个商业联网数据库、统计分析软件包和一个多用户版本的HyperCard。 信息亭内的计算机具有连续运行的HyperCard堆栈，这些堆栈提供有用的术语，定义和插图的口语发音。这些程序可以通过触摸屏控制进行操作。学习资源中心（LRC）的学生可以使用相同的课程。Kiosk和LRC计算机可以联网到CASE实验室，以便于维护和更新。 带有多媒体控制设备的移动的独立计算机推车使教师能够在课堂上参考实验模块，并通过使用激光光盘、录像带和CD-ROM来加强蛋白质主题。
