Cell Biology Instructor Resources

In the fall of 2013, the PowerPoint lecture format for the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom was updated to eliminate most of the fill-in-the-blanks and add more critical thinking questions and animated lessons. Instructors who prefer the previous fill-in-the-blank format can still access these materials below.  Follow us on Facebook to stay updated.

Instructor's Corner
Is there a VCBC main page for students?







Yes! The VCBC Main Page is where you can direct students if you are teaching from the material in this Virtual Classroom, or you can more specifically direct them to the student materials page for each lecture topic.
