Case It! Case Study Learning via Simulations of Molecular Biology Techniques
Tested Studies in Laboratory Teaching, 2005, Volume 26
Abstract
Case It! is an NSF-sponsored project to promote collaborative case-based learning in biology education worldwide. This paper describes the latest version of the Case It! simulation software (DNA gel electrophoresis, Southern blotting, and PCR). Students use these open-ended molecular biology computer simulations to analyze case studies involving genetic diseases, then discuss results with their peers at other institutions via web-based "poster sessions." They also use Case It! software to gather background information, analyze DNA and protein sequences, then create web-page posters and discuss them via a web editor /conferencing system at the Case It! web site (http://www.uwrf.edu/caseit/caseit.html).
Keywords: computer simulation, case-based learning, genetic disease, DNA analysis
