数字化生物信息实践教学平台的构建和实践

Construction and Practice of a Digital Bioinformatics Practical Teaching Platform

生物信息学是一门知识量大、涉及学科广的交叉学科,由于该学科迅猛发展导致高校的生物信息课程教学处于探索阶段,还未形成一个完整的课程建设体系。为了能够让学生掌握好生物信息学相关知识,我院构建数字化生物信息学实验教学平台,整合以高速的网络、多媒体机房、网络服务器、高性能计算集群、专业教学软件为基础平台架构,开展生物信息学专业实践教学,构建稳定的数字化开放平台实验教学系统。通过数字化实践教学平台可以实现现代化生物信息教学管理模式,教师可以针对不同的学生个性特点因材施教,有利于建立良好的师生关系,有利于发挥学生学习自主性和能动性。因此构建数字化生物信息学实验教学平台对提高生物信息学实验教学质量和水平起到至关重要的作用。

Bioinformatics is a field with a plenty of knowledge and strong interdiscipline with other fields.Because of fast development its courses have not formed an integrated system in teaching practice.In order to help students to master bioinformatics,our school constructs the Digital Bioinformatics Practical Teaching Platform which integrates highspeed internet,multimedia room,computer server,high performance computing cluster,and special teaching software into a digital opening teaching system.We find the platform makes the modern bioinformatics teaching mode come true.It plays a critical and promising role in individuation of teaching,forms good relationship between teacher and student,and develops self-initiative and self-dependent learning ability of the students.Therefore,constructing the Digital Bioinformatics Practical Teaching Platform has improved the level and quality of bioinformatics teaching practice.
