Teaching resources for undergraduate educators in biochemistry and molecular biology: TRUE BMB (618.28)

Through a grant from the NSF, the ASBMB Implementing Vision and Change: developing concept driven teaching strategies in biochemistry and molecular biology project has held 14 regional workshops around the country and at 4 national meetings starting in 2011.The workshops focused on identifying foundational concepts and assessment tools for biochemistry and molecular biology educators. These were highlighted in the September/October 2013 edition of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education. In the next phase of this project, the ASBMB is developing an online repository of teaching resources for the scientific community; the BMB Online Instructional Resources. These will include test questions, laboratory exercises, and syllabi of entire courses submitted by biochemistry and molecular biology educators. These artifacts will be mapped back to broader principles, concepts, skills, and learning objectives proposed earlier in the project, curated and peer reviewed. Resources will also be open to the communit...
