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.
