The High School Edition can used in the first year biology course, but I feel it would be more instructive in advanced biology or in Advanced Placement biology. The video is useful in presenting the basic salmon problem and helping teachers and students alike to quickly grasp the manipulation of the program. Once the user discovers the GlosDex page, everything else is a snap. GlosDex is the real strength of the program. It helps identify the video clip and written text that support the 10 different investigations contained in the manual.
Users can select video clips to watch, check literature sources, read written reports, etc.
The quality of the video clips is very good, and the written reports are easily read and informative. I explored the program by selecting one of the 10 investigations in the manual and followed the outline of video clips to watch and texts to read. Very quickly I discovered there was much high quality material for use in the investigation. I was able to collect good material to create answers for the study questions listed in the investigations. The High School program is essentially the same as the collegiate program.
