A toolbox for digitally enhanced teaching in synthetic biology

Abstract: The global pandemic of COVID-19 has forced educational provision to suddenly shift to a digital environment all around the globe. During these extraordinary times of teaching and learning both the challenges and the opportunities of embedding technologically enhanced education permanently became evident. Even though reinforced by constraints due to the pandemic, teaching through digital tools increases the portfolio of approaches to reach learning outcomes in general. In order to reap the full benefits, this M… Show more

“…Indeed, progress in teaching synthetic biology has resulted in the incorporation of new resources, such as virtual laboratories, software for simulating molecular structures, and interactive experimental methods (Huang et al, 2018;Lineback and Jansma, 2019;Muth et al, 2021). Additionally, 3D printed molecular structures are now shown to be also a valuable tool in improving synthetic biology education.…”

“…To date, efforts have been made to incorporate novel resources into synthetic biology education, such as software for molecular structure simulation and visualization, virtual labs, and virtual gaming environments (Muth et al, 2021). For example, the Pymol software helps in understanding protein shapes and their relation to specific functions, and is used by molecular science instructors for visualization and computation of structures (Lineback and Jansma, 2019).…”

“…Kitney and Freemont, 2012). In this review, various tools, and resources for digitally enhanced and distance education, such as Mass Open Online Courses (MOOC), gamification, virtual student competitions, wet lab simulators and virtual labs, social media, online discussions and debates, YouTube playlists and podcasts, virtual lectures, and virtual laboratories, were reviewed, organized, and evaluated for strengths and shortcomings in a virtual environment Muth et al (2021). provided educators with a "diversified toolbox" of examples of digital tools, strategies, and resources for the design and implementation practices for their own virtual learning environment.…”
