What's New in ASM Education

 

May 1, 2008

The spring 2008 issue of Focus on Microbiology Education reprises the theme of the fall 2007 issue—outreach, this time not only to high school students but also to middle school students. Our authors have multifaceted talents to display. Sure, they know microbiology, but they also are finely tuned in to their target audience, no mean feat given a wide age range.

Change has been rampant around JMBE over the past year. It all began with the change of name to help broaden the scope of the journal and to more accurately reflect the specialties of the members of our society. This volume spreads its wings by publishing articles that focus on genome sequencing in the classroom (Drew and Triplett) and Mendelian inheritance in Drosophila (Marshall), both of which fit directly into the interests of our readership. Not to forget our roots, this volume also contains manuscripts that come directly from microbiology courses. The publication by Johnson examines the effect that online learning modules have on examination scores of medical students enrolled in a microbiology course. The publication by Hughes takes online learning one step further and studies the effectiveness of an online microbiology course for non-science majors.
