SimBio Materials and Webinars!
If you are in need of remote teaching tools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, SimBio is here to help! SimBio’s inquiry-driven virtual labs and interactive chapters cover topics in introductory biology, ecology, evolution, and cell biology, and use built-in tools to make it easy to set up, deliver, and assess student work. If you and your course are new to SimBio, we’re offering free trials of SimBio’s modules this term to help instructors move courses online. (If you are an existing customer and your classes are being impacted by closures, you may add additional modules to your SimUText at no extra charge.) For more information, please visit the coronavirus response page on the SimBio website.”
