Cell function is a fundamental biological concept that students often struggle to master. Using a combination of 3-D models and animations, a group of researchers, educators, and digital artists at the University of Georgia have published the iBook “Cell Signaling: An Introduction” to help students understand the dynamic molecular world of cells, which includes 50 animations as well as various assessment items. In addition, the team is creating a suite of materials that utilize a scaffolded-inquiry approach to teach various neurological concepts.
