Bioscience Education, v12 Article 4 Dec 2008
The prototype of a guided practice application was developed to instruct year 13 biology students in the process of DNA replication. The application uses a high degree of interaction to engage the student in a guided exploration and problem solving exercise. An evaluation revealed that the students showed considerable enthusiasm and significant educational benefit. (Contains 3 figures and 2 tables.)
