I collaborate extensively with the BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium, a leader in undergraduate science education.  Click the logo to learn about the many online resources for supporting students as they actively investigate biology, including simulations and models, investigative cases, and rich problem spaces.

To be useful outside the classroom, science curriculum should be accessible and meaningful to learners and actively engage them in using  tools of scientific inquiry.   We have developed Investigative Case Based Learning as one approach to accomplish this.
