eBioLabs intends to transform the delivery of laboratory-based bioscience courses by developing, deploying and evaluating a personalised electronic learning space.
Classes are now bigger and more diverse than ever before but the resources have remained pretty much the same. The result can be off-the-shelf, unchallenging lab sessions. It's no surprise that students complain of long, tedious practical classes.
This project aims to realise the potential for practical classes to be some of the most engaging and memorable that students encounter at university.
The project will run from November 2008 to October 2010. It is funded by JISC, and builds on the work of Bristol's ChemLabS. The technical design and implementation of the system will be led by Learning Science.
