Active Learning Using the Virtual Mass Spectrometry Laboratory

摘要

The web-based virtual mass spectrometry laboratory (VMSL) was developed as a cross-disciplinary tool to help students learn mass spectrometry and problem solving. This free resource is accessible to a wide range of students and provides an active learning opportunity to the student through life-like case studies. The user is guided to solutions to these problems through an inquiry approach that allows them to control virtual mass spectrometers that return real data that they need to manipulate, analysze and interpret.
