This working group collaborated on content and pedagogy surrounding the use of Cell Collective to integrate computational modeling and simulation into undergraduate biology curriculum.
Description
Participants in this working group were interested in using Cell Collective to integrate computational modeling and simulation in their courses. We covered how to build a model and simulate it’s behavior, how to build a lesson around a validated model, and how to modify any of the more than 20 lessons already available on the Cell Collective website. Because Cell Collective is research grade technology, we also considered how to use it as a platform for authentic student research.
