Experiments in Biology Internet Education
Prof. Graham Walker, Frank Miskevich, Gurukarm Khalsa
There's a new group on campus, the Howard Hughes Biology Education Group. We want to know (and improve) on the best ways of teaching biology today. To do this, we need to know what's already available online and how useful it is. Here’s where your Internet expertise is needed. Our goal is to put together an annotated, indexed list of Biology teaching sites that are fun and informative which will be used as a resource for Biology classes. Four meetings (with food!) on dates below to share results and feedback, with flexible time commitments. Come find out about Biology outside of MIT!

Here is your chance to contribute to biology education at MIT. Help future students learn faster while sharpening your own animation skills. Create an animation of a fundamental cellular process taught in introductory biology. High cholesterol, tasty food and non-alcoholic diet drinks provided.
