| Project Summary | To create an online image repository and information database (i.e., plants, weeds, tissue and cell cultures, insects images, course videos, other learning materials) to foster a learner-centred teaching approach used in LFS APBI/BIOL courses. The diversity of media and visual material can be used to complement content, delivery mode, and increase the flexibility of learning environments. (i.e., anytime, anywhere). Classroom modifications (addition of a projector and digital microscopy) will allow for the ready creation of repository content as well as enhanced group learning opportunities by team exercises based on live projections (i.e., tissue and cell culture assays, specimen dissections, anatomical and morphological observations). The repository will allow students to contribute materials that can be reused for teaching and learning by current and future students and instructors and provide a forum for collective discussion in the classroom. |
