Resources for Cell Biology Flipped Course

The Cell Biology Flipped Course is built around a model where students watch iBiology videos as homework, with assignments to guide them, and then use classroom time for in-depth discussions and problem-based learning. The Cell Biology Flipped Course was first developed in collaboration with Professor Jonathan Scholey at the University of California – Davis and offered in 2013 to senior undergraduate biology majors. It was offered again in the spring of 2019 by UC Davis Professors Kassandra Ori-McKenney and Rick McKenney. Below, you will find all of the course materials including the seminars, discussion questions, and assignments.

To access the assignment materials you must register as an educator. If you are already registered, then log in here.
