SimBio – The open-ended experiments and built-in feedback of SimBio’s interactive ecology, evolution and cell-biology modules engage students in critical thinking and intellectually satisfying, discovery-based learning. Sophisticated simulations of biological systems (not just click-and-watch animations) create a rich learning environment while auto-graded tests and other instructor resources streamline implementation. Come see for yourself!
