Biology Education Online is a peer-reviewed, online journal for teaching and learning science. The goal is to bring together developers and users of digital resources for biology education that span the range from kindergarten through high school, youth and adults in colleges and universities, and life-long learners interested in biology. Using a two-tiered, on-line peer-review system, Biology Education Online is developing and publishng to the web a collection of new, interactive, participatory resources that exemplify the multimedia capabilities inherent in the Internet for the advancement of teaching and learning science, consistent with the goals and standards inherent in the National Science Education Standards and the AAAS Benchmarks for Science Literacy. But Biology Education Online is much more than a collection of reviewed digital resources. The interactive online journal itself is both a teaching and learning resource. The unique features of a two-tiered interactive review process with message boards attached to each posted resource allows Biology Education Online to be used in professional development of new and current teachers as well a nursery incubator for developers and potential developers of new materials. For example, instructors in teacher preparation programs can incorporate the ongoing review process for Biology Education Online materials as part of the development of evaluative and analytic skills in their students. In this way, beginning teachers not only have a collection of highly peer-reviewed materials to use in developing their teaching strategies and portfolios, they also participate in the review process and learn how to critically evaluate teaching materials. Biology Education Online melds together users and providers. The development process for materials and the resources themselves promotes easy use by the community and encourage users to become developers by creating a nursery incubator where users can present, test, revise and publish new ideas and material in a non-threatening community setting. As a peer-reviewed online journal, Biology Education Online is being developed through an iterative process that requires two levels of online, interactive review prior to publishing to the formal Web site. Biology Education Online creates a synergy between a strong, well-developed audience for digital teaching and learning resources and a proven operational program for delivering those resources. The National Association of Biology Teachers and Access Excellence are collaborating in this endeavor.

在线生物教育是一个同行评审的在线期刊，用于教学和学习科学。目标是将生物教育数字资源的开发者和用户聚集在一起，这些资源涵盖了从幼儿园到高中的范围，青年和大学的成年人，以及对生物学感兴趣的终身学习者。使用一个两层的在线同行评审系统，在线生物教育正在开发和发布一个新的、互动的、参与性的资源集合，这些资源体现了互联网固有的多媒体能力，以促进科学的教学和学习，与国家科学教育标准和美国科学促进会科学素养基准的目标和标准相一致。但是，在线生物教育不仅仅是一组经过审查的数字资源。互动式在线期刊本身既是一种教学资源，也是一种学习资源。两层互动审查过程的独特特点，每个发布的资源都附有留言板，使生物教育在线用于新教师和现任教师的专业发展，以及新材料开发人员和潜在开发人员的托儿所孵化器。例如，教师准备课程的教师可以将正在进行的生物教育在线材料的审查过程作为学生评估和分析技能发展的一部分。通过这种方式，初学教师不仅拥有经过高度同行评议的材料，用于制定教学策略和作品集，他们还参与评议过程，学习如何批判性地评估教材。在线生物教育将用户和提供者融合在一起。材料和资源本身的开发过程促进了社区的易用性，并通过创建一个托儿所孵化器来鼓励用户成为开发人员，用户可以在一个没有威胁的社区环境中提出、测试、修改和发布新的想法和材料。作为一份同行评议的在线期刊，《生物教育在线》正在通过一个迭代的过程发展，在正式发布到网站之前，需要两个层次的在线互动评审。在线生物教育在数字教学资源的强大、发达的受众和提供这些资源的经过验证的操作程序之间建立了协同作用。全国生物教师协会和Access Excellence正在为此进行合作。
