Interactive Genetics is composed of computer-based tools to aid in the teaching of college level introductory genetics. These materials can be used by students working in small groups in a computer lab or for individual study. Through these materials we strive to:   Promote active learning on the part of the students Guide students in problem-solving, critical, and analytic thinking Enable learning through discovery Integrate technology with science education   Distributed on a CD-ROM, Interactive Genetics contains:   Tutorials Animations and videos to explain molecular processes and experiments.   Interactive problems Step-by-step problem solving Specific feedback to predictable wrong answers Major concepts introduced through problems   Simulations (CD-based FlyLab; Web-based Bacterial Genetics) Allow students to design experiments Student-generated data is owned by student Immediate results allows focus to be on data interpretation   Self Tests Quizzes contain a large number of short answer problems
