Need help with your 2nd Semester Biology Labs? We are here for you!

Join McGraw Hill Marketing Manager Erin Martin and Wes Rogers of Georgia Gwinnett College as they discuss how Wes uses Connect Master: Why Biology? to increase engagement and scientific literacy in his Non-Majors Biology course.  Utilizing units that start with a relevant theme and then thread in biological concepts allows him to break away from traditional approach that presents the biology first and then introduces relevancy.  Wes also talks about how he uses Virtual Labs not only as a lab replacement in an online environment but also as a learning resource to offer students a “hand-on” experience that is often difficult to achieve in a digital environment.  Wes offers best practices and advice to new and existing users of Connect Master: Why Biology? and Virtual Labs.

Please join Heidi Smith (Front Range Community College), as she talks about how you can use Virtual Labs  to integrate lab concepts with your lecture! Heidi shares how you can use the virtual labs product to extend the learning in lecture.  You can offer labs that were once thought to be difficult  due to lack of time, money, or lab equipment. 

One example,  the Biotechnology chapter in your course is awesome. Students read about gene cloning. You can offer the bacterial transformation lab to help your students begin to better understand biotechnology/cloning.  Heidi talks about the PCR lab in Connect Virtual Labs. She didn’t have the time or money to do the lab face-to-face. The PCR lab is easily deployed through Connect. Amplification of DNA is another challenging topic, and you can deploy a lab on the polymerase chain reaction.

In this episode they talk about how you can help ALL students with being the most prepared to take the lab or lecture! During this episode, this panel will talk about the newly revised prep modules for A&P, Biology, Microbiology and Nutrition. This prep technology is part of your Virtual Labs license! 

The newly revised learning modules in Connect include A&P Prep, Biology Prep, Microbiology Prep, and Nutrition Prep. Each module identifies content the student knows and, more importantly, doesn’t know. Prep then provides specific learning resources that teach the concepts with which they’re struggling. 

Please join Tami Hodge (McGraw Hill Education) & Raven Brake (student at University of Missouri), as they talk about Raven's experience using virtual labs for microbiology. Raven shares a few tips and provides her perspective on virtual labs!
