Web-based Video vs. the Traditional Lecture |
The Biology WorkBench
is a revolutionary
web-based tool for biologists. The WorkBench allows biologists to search
many popular protein and nucleic acid sequence databases. Database searching
is integrated with access a wide variety of analysis and modeling tools,
all within a point and click interface that eliminates file format compatibility
problems. |
ClipBoard-2000 - Online Lecture Production
Tool
ClipBoard-2000
is a tool which allows faculty to easily record web-based lectures using
nothing more than a notebook computer with attached camera. ClipBoard-2000
takes PowerPoint as its input and syncronizes audio, video, PowerPoint,
and annotations to produce the on-line lecture. ClipBoard creates a single
Quicktime file with up to 6 tracks of information.

Modeling And Simulation Tools for
Education Reform 
MASTER Tools,
developed by The Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. are the result of on-going
collaborations with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications
(NCSA), George Mason University, and other education organizations. They
are designed to be interactive tools and simulation environments that
enable and encourage exploration and discovery through observation, conjecture,
and modeling activities.
