This project will allow university biology students, both majors and non-majors, to augment their normal laboratory experience by studying biological structure and function both in and outside of class using computer workstations. Commercial software programs will allow students to 'participate" in virtual labs and engage in self-testing in order to provide them with immediate feedback regarding their level of understanding of facts and concepts. Web-based applications developed by the faculty and biology links will further enhance the students' experience. Computer-based exercises will gradually be incorporated into laboratory schedules as is appropriate and become a part of the standard curriculum for the Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, Human Biology and General Biology courses. As a result of this new technology in our undergraduate laboratories, our students will gain a better understanding of general biological principles while increasing their level of computer literacy and confidence.

该项目将允许大学生物学专业和非专业的学生，通过使用计算机工作站在课堂内外研究生物结构和功能来增加他们的正常实验室经验。商业软件程序将允许学生“参与”虚拟实验室并进行自我测试，以便为他们提供有关他们对事实和概念的理解水平的即时反馈。由教师和生物学链接开发的基于网络的应用程序将进一步提高学生的经验。基于计算机的练习将酌情逐步纳入实验室时间表，并成为人体解剖学，人体生理学，人体生物学和普通生物学课程标准课程的一部分。由于在我们的本科实验室这项新技术的结果，我们的学生将获得一般生物学原理的更好的理解，同时提高他们的计算机素养和信心的水平。
