To develop our Model Builder web tool, BioInteractive worked with Jon Darkow, an educator in Ohio. This Q&A discusses the Model Builder development process and the features he's most excited about.
This interactive tool introduces students to building scientific models. Educators can use the tool to create assignments and, in some cases, automatically grade student models.
This interactive module can be used to model infectious disease spread in a population. It includes background on the SIR model and two simulators for modeling disease spread on different scales.
In this Click & Learn, students explore factors that contribute to patterns seen in the Keeling Curve: a continuous record of atmospheric CO2 starting in 1958.
This Click & Learn traces the flow of energy from the Sun all the way to cells within organisms. The embedded questions and calculations guide students’ understanding of how energy is distributed through a variety of ecosystems.
Our new Interactive Video Builder tool lets educators embed their own questions into our videos. In this Educator Voices article, Annie Prud’homme-Généreux details research-based strategies for designing effective interactive videos.
This tool can be used to add pause points, questions, and labels to any BioInteractive video. It also includes a library of ready-to-use videos with embedded questions.
Liberating Structuresare a set of easy-to-implement ideas for structuring group discussions. In this article, Annie Prud’homme-Généreux, a professor in Canada, details how she pairs these structures with BioInteractive resources.
