An Immersive Cell Biology Learning Resource that Couples

The Cell Biology Learning Resource (CBLR) will be a multimedia educational resource designed to give the student a better means of learning cell biology through an immersive and interactive environment. Utilizing novel cell visualization technology, the CBLR will enhance the learning experience by facilitating the first-ever exploration of a computer reconstructed human cell and its internal structure. The graphical interface will be tightly integrated with a hypertext-driven textual reference to provide easily accessible information. Teaching of introductory through advanced cell biology will be improved by emphasizing functional and structural relationships in situ. Student exercises will be included to stimulate critical thought.
