A video dance interpretation of chromosome movement is accompanied
by an
animated computer visualization of the cell replication process.The
resulting video is designed to serve as a supplemental learning
object for
Biology 101 students studying DNA processes. The simplistic
or static
visual aid currently available to students for learning this
complex topic
does not sufficiently convey the role of chromosome and DNA
movement. In
engaging a variety of media for such visualization, Dr. Fisher
is hoping to
create an experience that will work on informational and metaphoric
level,
engage different learning styles and inspire student interest
in biology.
