Project Summary | This project aims to develop a web-based instructional resource for undergraduates in microbiology laboratories. An easy to navigate interface will guide students to a variety of topics, such as scientific writing, safety information, proper lab etiquette, as well as individual experimental techniques. Each topic will consist of videos and visual/text-based guides specifically produced for the project. This unified design will streamline laboratory information and make for a more cohesive and intuitive learning experience where students can conveniently access and review instructions and materials as often as desired. The project relies on the two fundamental design strategies of Students as Producers and Peer Learning. The collaboration of students on the project design and content production teams will ensure the site to be more practical and relevant to the needs of the students in Microbiology and Immunology. Initial funding will help to establish the modules, design the sitemap, develop the website architecture as well produce a preliminary set of videos. |
