Introductory Biology

ACTIVE LEARNING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Give your biology students opportunities to explore and learn key concepts while actively thinking, experimenting, and problem-solving.

Our subscription-based SimUText System® lets you compile a custom collection of SimBio's inquiry-driven tutorials/labs with content you select from OpenStax Biology+, a fully vetted, open-source Intro Bio e-text that we've enhanced with auto-graded questions and other SimUText features. This provides a cost-effective way for you to give your students the advantages of SimBio's interactive teaching tools for conceptually challenging topics without sacrificing the value of a more traditional textbook.

Our Goal: Help students learn by helping instructors teach

SimBio’s products are supported by research demonstrating the importance of active inquiry to student learning. SimBio Virtual Labs ® Tutorials target difficult-to-teach concepts and skills in biology. Our Interactive Ecology Chapters delve deeper into underlying mechanisms than is possible with traditional textbooks. SimUText,® our subscription-based teaching platform, helps instructors select, assign, and deliver content, assess student work, and more.

Testimonials

“[SimBio’s modules] provide a powerful environment for hands-on, active learning in Ecology and Evolution. The depth, design, and pedagogical effectiveness of these packages is unequaled. They have greatly enriched student interest and understanding in all of my courses, from Introductory Biology to Advanced Population Biology”

— Dr. Brad Lister
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

“The lab simulations have been very helpful to reinforce the lecture content and encourage students to use critical thinking skills to solve problems.”

— Patti Fallest-Strobl
Neumann University

“I was amazed how quickly and effortlessly the simulation taught them a dynamic system.”

— Paula Philbrick
University of Connecticut

“The students like [it] so much that they are working ahead of what I have assigned. They just think it’s fun. And from the quiz results I have so far, they’re really getting it. You guys are geniuses.”

— Paulette Bierzychudek
Lewis & Clark College

“Since we began using Simbio’s Ecology chapters our students consistently come to class better prepared. This is a key to the success of our hybrid flipped classroom approach.”

— Dr. Peter Curtis
Ohio State University

“That was the most fun I’ve had teaching ecology and, I would venture to guess, the most fun my students have had taking ecology from me.”

— Matt Orr
Oregon State University, Cascades

“Our students are more prepared and our class discussions are more sophisticated because SimUText is such a great out of class “instructor”. Since our students have SimUText preparation we can spend class time applying concepts and evaluating new information.”

— Emily Bernhardt
Duke University

“I LOVE that every lab is based on a real study. I LOVE that all of the labs offer an open-ended inquiry. I LOVE that the labs gradually teach the concepts and build up a repertoire of data collection techniques. Thank you, for creating them.”

— Jeanette Williams
Community College of Vermont

“I just wanted to say how great simutext has been. I could have memorized facts about the electron transport chain and passed the test, but would not have had any solid concept of what was happening inside. I hope that we continue to use it often even when things return to normal.”

— Student
Rochester Community and Technical College

“Congratulations for developing such a high quality chapter. I was very impressed by its comprehensiveness, accuracy, and thoughtful design. It really is superb.”

— Richard Boone
Humboldt State University

“I recommend your modules to anyone I can, because of all the online materials I’ve found, SimBio is really the best in content and best managed. I am definitely a SimBio fan!”

— Valerie Anderson
Marymount California University
