Avida-ED. Technology for Teaching Evolution and the Nature of Science using Digital Organisms
Avida-ED is a program developed at Michigan State University for
undergraduate biology courses to help
students learn about evolution and scientific method by allowing
them to design and perform experiments to test hypotheses about
evolutionary mechanisms using evolving digital organisms. Avida-ED is discussed in the 10 Feb.
2006 issue of Science. Avida-ED won the 2012 Excellence Award in Interdisciplinary Scholarship given by the MSU Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society
