Learning Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects in an online medium can be difficult and tedious. Lengthy facts with technical terms, complex images, and explanations are among the reasons that make STEM subjects less desirable among the current generation and degrade the students' learning experience. Students can be…

Rebecca S. Rivard – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2025
Escape rooms are collaborative puzzle solving activities that require the participants to utilize logical reasoning and teamwork. With a slight refocusing on previously acquired knowledge, escape rooms can also be used to test and promote learning of certain topics. This paper describes the development of a one-hour in-person STEM focused escape…

Neely, Megan L.; Troy, Jesse D.; Gschwind, Gerald T.; Pomann, Gina-Maria; Grambow, Steven C.; Samsa, Gregory P. – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2022
We describe an innovative preorientation curriculum (POC) for a Master of Biostatistics (MB) program. The goal of the POC is to fill critical skills gaps for students entering the MB program from heterogeneous backgrounds so they are prepared to engage in the program's rigorous, fast-paced training upon arrival. To achieve this goal, we introduce…

Cope, Janet M.; Bennett, Cynthia C.; Balilionis, Gytis; Person, Dianne M. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
In 2017, Elon University became one of very few universities in the United States without a medical school to have an in-house Anatomical Gift Program (AGP). The program accepts first-person-consenting individuals only and within 2.5 years has become self-sufficient, supporting anatomy curricular needs of its physical therapy, physician assistant,…

Amanda N. Crowe; Mattias L. Johansson; Jennifer L. Mook; Grace K. Roa; Catharine C. Whiting – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2022
While a growing body of research supports active, student-centered approaches to teaching, the implementation of such methodologies in the undergraduate STEM classroom has not been widespread. In an effort to increase student success in an introductory course for biology majors, we developed Biology Boot Camp, a peer-led program based on active,…

Nicholas Glover; Kerry J. Knox; Ben Kirman; Matthew Topham; Katylily Westbury-Hawkins; Penelope Holland – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2020
We describe the production of an educational game ("Catastrophic") for supporting biology learning in higher education (HE) that was developed through a partnership between students and academic staff. We consider the ways in which the development project intersects with the use of game-based learning in HE and with Students as Partners…

Kinsey, Dirk; Hayes-Conroy, Allison; Das, Jayatri – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2021
This paper describes the application of a "biosocial" approach to informal health and science education. As an engagement between biological and critical social sciences, biosocial theory has sought to re-articulate human bodies as fundamentally the product of interrelationships between the biological and social dimensions of human life.…

Johnston, Robert – Journal of Biological Education, 2015
Even the most basic of school trips will require booking places, arranging transport, writing to parents, collecting payments, planning activities, producing worksheets and, of course, endless risk assessments. It always leaves teachers wondering: "is it really worth all this effort?" Robert Johnston believes that every teacher should…
