  1. Visualizing Data NIMBioS Tutorial Computational Thinking and Cyberlearning in Biology July 6, 2010 Ethel Stanley, BioQUEST

  2. Cyberlearning “This pedagogical change is not about technology per se. This is not about distance learning… not about students being able to access lectures by some of the world's leading professors... Rather, this represents a change in the relationship between students and teachers in the learning process.” Tapscott, D. and A. D. William. 2010. Innovating the 21st-Century University: It’s Time! EDUCAUSE Review, • 45(1): 16-29 (January/February 2010

  3. “Professors who want to remain relevant will have to abandon the traditional lecture and start listening to and conversing with students — shifting from a broadcast style to an interactive one.” Tapscott, D. and A. D. William. 2010. Innovating the 21st-Century University: It’s Time! EDUCAUSE Review 45(1) :16-29 (January/February 2010)
