Description
Summary:Case It!, an IBI prize–winning module, provides computer simulations that enable student analysis of biological materials not usually available in laboratories. Case It! ( www.caseitproject.org ) originated at the 1995 BioQUEST Summer Workshop ( 1 ) and has developed over the years into an effective system for case-based learning useful for both high school and university educators ( 2 , 3 ). National Science Foundation support has enabled us to distribute all project materials at no cost.
