WIKIed Biology

跨学科（99）WIKIed生物学提供了一种利用Web 2.0技术来深化和加强STEM学科的教与学的教学模式，特别侧重于学习生物学概念。该项目支持创建和实施两个并行的高级本科课程，一个面向计算机专业的学生，一个面向生物学专业的学生。计算机科学和信息系统专业的学生利用Web 2.0作为一种更具活力、参与性和协作性的媒介的势头，研究并确定当前在课程中使用的最可行和最可持续的技术。计算机专业的学生获得了实践实施和管理计算概念的经验，而生物学专业的学生则获得了使用Web 2.0技术拓宽和深化他们对生物学概念理解的经验。该模型引入了新的教学策略，结合了学生使用信息和通信技术的方式，并确定了将Web 2.0技术应用到教学过程中的最佳实践。该项目还鼓励学生进行跨学科的主动学习，其中包括学生如何获取信息和使用基于网络的通信技术的最新信息。从项目中获得的信息扩展了学生学习和使用技术教学实践领域的知识。

Interdisciplinary(99) WIKIed Biology provides a model of instruction utilizing Web 2.0 technologies to deepen and enhance teaching and learning in STEM disciplines, with the specific focus on learning biological concepts. The project supports the creation and implementation of two concurrent upper level undergraduate courses, one for computing students and one for biology students. Using the wave of momentum in Web 2.0 as a more dynamic, participatory and collaborative medium, computer science and information systems students research and identify the most feasible and sustainable of the current technologies for use in the courses. Computing students gain experience in practicing implementation and management of computing concepts, whereas biology students gain experience using Web 2.0 technologies to broaden and deepen their understanding of biological concepts. The model introduces new teaching strategies that incorporate ways students engage information and communication technologies and identifies best practices related to implementing Web 2.0 technologies into the teaching and learning process. The project also encourages interdisciplinary active learning experiences for students, which incorporate current information on how students acquire information and use web-based communication technologies. Information gained from the project expands knowledge in the field of student learning and pedagogical practices using technology.
