Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.5K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Eukaryotic Evolution

39.1K
The endosymbiont theory is the most widely accepted theory of eukaryotic evolution; however, its progression is still somewhat debated. According to the nucleus-first hypothesis, the ancestral prokaryote first evolved a membrane to enclose DNA and form the nucleus. Conversely, the mitochondria-first hypothesis suggests that the nucleus was formed after endosymbiosis of mitochondria.
Contrary to the endosymbiont theory, the eukaryote-first hypothesis proposes that the simpler prokaryotic and...

What is Biodiversity?

30.8K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Synthetic Biology

5.1K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

The Evidence for Evolution02:55

The Evidence for Evolution

45.5K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

677
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Pedagogy
  • Life Sciences Education
  • Online Learning

Background:

  • Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an active learning strategy rooted in educational theories.
  • TBL promotes student engagement, accountability, and equity, addressing common challenges in online courses.
  • Active learning approaches like TBL are linked to improved student performance, retention, and sense of belonging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of TBL in both face-to-face and online introductory life science courses.
  • To provide a model for designing and transitioning life science courses to an online environment using TBL.
  • To highlight the effectiveness of TBL in enhancing the online learning experience.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented TBL in a face-to-face introductory evolution and biodiversity course (~200 students) starting in 2018.
  • Transitioned TBL to an online format for an introductory evolution and biodiversity course (~30 students) in Summer 2019.
  • Utilized online applications including Simbio, Slack, VoiceThread, Articulate 360, and Teammates to facilitate online TBL.

Main Results:

  • TBL implementation in the online course yielded rewarding experiences with engaged and accountable students.
  • Students in the online TBL course demonstrated strong performance.
  • The study successfully demonstrated the feasibility of using TBL in an online life science setting.

Conclusions:

  • Team-Based Learning is a valuable pedagogical tool for improving online education.
  • TBL effectively enhances student engagement, accountability, and academic performance in online life science courses.
  • The findings support the recommendation of TBL as a course design approach for remote and online instruction.
