SimBio produces proven-effective, state-of-the-art active learning tools used in college biology courses worldwide.
SimBio has been a proponent of active learning in biology for over two decades. Our modules employ sophisticated interactive simulations and interactives to teach biology in an inquiry-driven learning style. Our goal is to improve biology education by creating content that engages students in critical thinking and active learning. We strive to bring the logic and elegance of biological processes to life, and to prime students to show up to class ready to learn.
In addition to our biology teaching tools, we conduct grant-funded research to explore how to make educational software more effective. We've conducted substantial research on the effectiveness of our modules, funded in part with grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
As of 2022 we're 100% employee-owned!
