Electronic Biochemistry - An Interactive E-Book Version of an Existing Biochemistry Textbook

电子生物化学电子书是一种完全交互式的数字资源，超越了二维印刷页面的局限性，并在空间的三维和时间的四维中展示了生物化学世界的自然丰富性。通过这一项目，正在开发和测试互动学习模块，并正在创造能够引起学生注意的学习环境。这本电子书利用了三种软件技术，包括Chime，一种分子建模插件; Java，一种面向对象的编程语言;以及Flash，一种使用流式矢量图形在HTML环境中创建动画的软件。该电子书与PC和Apple Macintosh电脑兼容。调查人员还与出版商、软件开发商和行业联络人合作，开发一个标准的平板电脑/电子书阅读器平台，该平台具有足够的功能和功能，以促进本书和其他教科书的更好的电子书交付。电子生物化学电子书不是简单地将文本和数字从纸质教科书转移到电子格式的结果，还增加了分子建模，Java小程序和动画。相反，它是一个丰富而广泛的生物化学“沙盒”，学生可以在其中玩耍，学习，想象，解决问题和创造，几乎没有限制。

Biological Sciences (61) The Electronic Biochemistry e-book is a fully interactive, digital resource that transcends the limitations of the two-dimensional printed page and demonstrates the natural richness of the biochemical world in the three dimensions of space and the fourth of time. Through this project, interactive learning modules are being developed and tested and learning environments are being created that prompt students' attention. The e-book utilizes three software technologies including Chime, a molecular modeling plugin; Java, an object-oriented programming language; and Flash, software that creates animations in the HTML environment using streaming vector graphics. The e-book is compatible with PC and Apple Macintosh computers. The investigators are also developing, in partnership with publishers, software developers and industry liaisons, a standard computing tablet/e-book reader platform of sufficient power and features to facilitate better e-book delivery for this and other textbooks. The Electronic Biochemistry e-book is not the result of a simple transfer of text and figures from a paper textbook to an electronic format, with the addition of molecular modeling, Java applets, and animations. Rather, it is a rich and extensive biochemistry "sandbox", in which students can play, learn, imagine, problem-solve, and create, with few limits.
