The focus of ABLE is to improve the undergraduate biology laboratory experience by promoting the development and dissemination of interesting, innovative, and reliable laboratory exercises. The CSU Center for Distributed Learning provides support to those engaged in teaching and learning through the development and dissemination of tools, best practices, and strategies which effectively employ the World Wide Web and related technologies. The purpose was a discussion of issues related to the intersection of learning and technology. Each month the CIT's Information Resources Consultant monitors and selects from a number of information technology and instructional technology sources that come to her attention and provides brief notes for electronic dissemination to educators. The Biology Place is a subscription based web site created by teams of educators in partnership with Peregrine Publishers to offer students, educators, and anyone with a desire to learn about biology access to a variety of resources.
