This current project UNSW Cell Biology has been extensively updated as an part of an Innovative Teaching and Educational Technology 4 (ITET4) Fellowship Project.
The Fellowship allows participation in:
As part of the Project I am including a documentation of the "process" involved in developing further this online Cell Biology resource. The planning process>>

Alternatively, look at the ITET4 Symposium Presentations on this page. Below are links to material presented at ITET4 Workshop (27OCT03) and Symposium (05DEC03) on Online Resources prepared by our group of ITET4 Fellows.
Online Resources workshop prepared by this group of ITET4 Fellows:
Online resources are an exciting way of delivering information to students. We look at the advantages of this method but also mention the pitfalls. We will examine the process of developing an online resource, how to evaluate it and then determine its useability for the end user. Ultimately we ask how effective we are in engaging students with online resources.
Below are links to slides and posters presented at the Symposium. For a more detailed coverage of this and other materials prepared by the ITET4 Fellows access the UNSW LRC3 site.
