The central theme of this workshop is exploring the molecular basis of insecticide resistance in a case study approach that enforces a conceptual understanding of a variety of topics in the context of preventing the spread of Zika virus. The interactive models used in this workshop can be borrowed from the MSOE Model Lending Library or purchased from 3D Molecular Designs. I've included "briefs" that describe activities associated with a wide range of models that lay the conceptual foundation for the case study, as well as case study files (which are numbered). More information about using various models can be found at the 3D Molecular Designs website under Teaching Resources.

swirl teaches you R programming and data science interactively, at your own pace, and right in the R console!
For teachers:
swirl is a platform for teaching R programming and data science. However, an educational platform is only as good as the content it delivers to students. Although we have contributed some content ourselves, swirl is designed in such a way that you can create your own interactive content and share it freely with students in your classroom or around the world.

"This is a great source for basic R functionality like importing and manipulating data. It also has very helpful information on making graphs (see this page). "

Most students have seen an exponential model for population growth and know that it predicts unlimited growth. Better models, such as the logistic growth model, should incorporate assumptions to account for limitation of resources. In this activity, participants collect data from a physical simulation of resource-limited growth, prepare a variety of graphs to visualize the data, construct a verbal model based on their observations and the graphs, and (for those who want to go this far) construct a symbolic model from the verbal model.

Reference reading (with a variety of biological examples) used for a Discrete Math Modeling course. If session participants are interested in a particular application, please let me know (email me at bodinee at rhodes dot edu) and I will make sure to address that application during the session.
If you are interested in applying for the Discrete Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN) which will further build on these ideas, please follow the provided link.

A collection of resources to use in the classroom. Includes materials for students and for educators as well as additional resources.
A complete understanding of evolution requires knowledge that spans many biological sub-disciplines. However, students are often taught evolution in the context of ecological systems and isolated from genetic and cellular ones. To address this issue, we have developed case studies that track the evolution of traits from their origination in DNA mutation, to the production of different proteins, to the fixation of alternate macroscopic phenotypes in reproductively isolated populations.
This post contains some of the links that were mentioned in Dr. Paul Beardsley's presentation on HHMI BioInteractive resources. This is not a comprehensive list, we encourage you to explore the BioInteractive website (http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive) to see what else you can find!
