Application of computers in biochemical education – the african challenge

Abstract

Digital illustration of biomolecules and the use of computers and
projectors in lectures can improve students understanding of the subject.
Lecturers and students alike now rely upon the Internet to communicate
and to learn new information. Digital libraries are offering a wealth of
information to a large community of users and will become an
increasingly valuable part of the Internet as they are developed in a
coherent and imaginative way. By accessing online resources, faculty can
also bring more of the dynamic nature of genomics and bioinformatics to
students (Afr. J. Biomed. Res. 9:11 – 13, January 2006)
