UNIQUE APPROACH TO TEACHING SCIENCE ON CD - A CD, developed by Harvey
Mudd College, provides a unique approach to teaching science. Funded by the National Science
Foundation, with a $136,000 grant, the CD is appropriate for introductory biology, cell biology,
genetics and cancer biology courses, as well as high school biology. The CD is designed to be
goal-based, with stem cell simulation, and teaches the stem cell cycle. "StemLab, an Environment
for Learning," lets students self-pace and make decisions to learn about how cells divide, grow
and change. A multimedia simulation, leads student students to apply stem cell research in a
very practical way to create therapies for a spectrum of medical problems. Students are directed
to text, graphics, animations and a pronunciation guide by hypertext links. The CD is being
offered by the Mona Group. For complete information see: http://www.monagroup.com
