Students will find that the information covered in The Biology Project is probably just what they've been studying in their introductory biology course, and advanced students will find these materials to be a useful review. All students will benefit from the real-life applications of biology and the inclusion of up-to-date research findings. William and Flora Hewlett Foundation provided a grant to Dr. Michael Gottfredsen, University of Arizona Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, to support a design team charged with developing the general structure and supportive materials needed to deliver student-oriented, highly interactive learning materials on the worldwide web. These learning materials are used to support the lecture, laboratory and discussion sessions of general education courses. Over the two-year period of the award, the design team were responsible for: Developing and implementing standardized instructional modules for a lower-division course in natural science and one in humanities/social science Using the modules to encourage and foster links between teaching and research faculty in order to provide the means to deliver cutting-edge research information to students Establishing links with other units on campus which support instructional development with an eye towards extending or customizing the course modules beyond the terms of the project Providing outreach services to faculty unfamiliar with the power of current advancements in instructional technology.
