Integrative Metabolism: An Interactive Learning Tool for Nutrition, Biochemistry, and Physiology

Journal of College Science Teaching—March/April 2010

Metabolism is a dynamic, simultaneous, and integrative science that cuts across nutrition, biochemistry, and physiology. Teaching this science can be a challenge. The use of a scenario-based, visually appealing, interactive, computer-animated CD may overcome the limitations of learning “one pathway at a time” and engage two- and four-year college students in a deep understanding of integrative metabolism.
