The Biology Department at NCSU has developed a 4-credit hour course in Introductory Biology that includes a laboratory and is offered via the Internet. Although it is not possible to recreate an entire “wet lab” experience on-line, we have developed a combination of video clips and simulations which stress concepts and introduce students to the use of basic laboratory equipment. In this session, we will demonstrate several laboratory exercises, with accompanying assignment sheets, in which students interact with virtual equipment to produce and analyze data and another in which students manipulate Zoomify™ to simulate the microscopic viewing of slides and electron micrographs. We will also show how the laboratory component coordinates with the main part of the course. Comments from the participants will be solicited and compared with those that we have compiled from student questionnaires and focus groups.
