Online laboratories (“iLabs”) are experimental systems that can be accessed through the Internet from a regular web browser. iLabs allow students and educators in science and engineering to carry out experiments from anywhere at any time.
What physical movements should an astronaut make in micro-gravity in order to re-orient her body? With the help of visualizations designed by Violeta Ivanova, Dava Newman's students tackled this question.
When faculty members experiment with technology enhancements, there is often a ripple effect where thoughts about technology lead to thoughts about pedagogy, which then lead back to new ideas about technology.
Project-based learning introduces students to a discipline through the process of conceiving, designing, and implementing activities which integrate theory with practice.
StarBiochem is an application that displays molecules from the Protein Data Bank. It allows users to explore fundamental biological research concepts, target and select components of a molecule, and control how they are displayed.
StarBiogene provides a set of software tools for analyzing genomics data via the web. It enables the user to take part in the analysis of microarray gene expression data by making usable genomics research software readily available.
StarGenetics provides a set of tools for analyzing genetic traits. This software simulates mating experiments between organisms that are genetically different across a range of traits and allows students to analyze the nature of the traits in question.
