The North Carolina Community College System BioNetwork's interactive eLearning tools (IETs) are reusable chunks of training that can be deployed in a variety of courses or training programs. IETs are designed to enhance, not replace hands-on training. Learners are able to enter a hands-on lab...

From the University of California, Davis, Partnership for Plant Genomics Education, this biotechnology laboratory is a five-day activity with bacterial transformations and green fluorescent protein. “In this lab activity, students will attempt to cause a wild type strain of E. coli to incorporate...

A portion of the Partnership for Plant Genomics Education, hosted by the University of California-Davis, this PDF presents a student activity where students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to separate several different dyes. The lab is described as a “precursor to DNA separations” and thus...

Micropipets are used in almost all biotechnology experiments. These precise instruments allow for the dispensing of extremely small volumes. This laboratory exercise will teach students to learn how to operate a micropipet, understand measuring volumes in microliters, and convert metric volumes....

Restriction mapping is a cornerstone of modern-day biotechnology. During this three-day exercise, students will digest samples of DNA with three different restriction enzymes. The DNA samples will be electrophoresed and the resulting fragments photographed under and ultraviolet transilluminator....

The PhET project at the University of Colorado creates "fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena." This particular simulation deals with Beer's Law: "The thicker the glass, the darker the brew, the less the light that passes through." Make colorful concentrated and dilute...

Promotional materials include two flyers for the Integrating Biotechnology and Applied Engineering to Meet Emerging Advanced Technological Workforce Needs (Bio Blend) project. The goal of this project is to produce 15 ready for hire graduates by developing four courses and adding to the industry...

The Bio-Link how to guides discuss topics that are important for biotechnology and life science programs at two-year colleges. The guides are organized into the following topic areas: access the code of federal GMP regulations, connect With Bio-Link through social media, detect genetically modified...

This webinar was presented on April 1, 2016 as part of the Bio-Link webinar series. The presenters were Elaine Johnson, PhD, of BioLink; Jeannette Mowry, PhD, of Madison College; Sandra Porter, PhD, of Digital World Biology, LLC; and Sulatha Dwarakanath, PhD, of Austin Community College. In the...

In this video, "Dr. Elaine Johnson, Director of Bio-Link, and Claudette Bruno, high school science teacher, talk about Bio-Link." Bruno and Johnson discuss how biotech education changes and empowers students, adults, and communities. This video runs 8:03 minutes in length.
