虚拟仿真技术在生物学实验教学中的应用

Application of virtual reality in teaching of biological experimental courses

实验类课程对于生物类专业学生科研能力的培养具有重要意义,但其实际教学过程往往受到仪器、资金、场地等诸多因素的限制。虚拟现实技术的发展有效地突破了客观世界的现实壁垒,借助于计算机硬件、软件和各种传感器,可以实现对高危险、高成本、高能耗类实验的模拟操作,激发学生的学习热情,有效提高实验教学的效果。通过校企合作、资源共享等方式,可以解决高校实验教师往往缺乏信息技术背景的难题,有效提高虚拟仿真实验室的利用效率。随着信息技术的发展及网络平台的完善,虚拟仿真实验教学平台的功能与应用也将进一步得到扩展。

Experimental courses are important for the cultivation of scientific research ability of biolog⁃ical students.However,the actual teaching process is restricted by factors such as instruments,funds and venues.The development of virtual reality technology has broken the barrier of objective world.With the help of computer hardware,software and various sensors,the simulation of high risk,high cost and high energy biological experiments can be realized,while students’enthusiasm for learning and effect of experimental teaching can be improved.By means of school-enterprise cooperation and resource sharing,the problem that experiment teachers often lack background of information technology can be solved and utilization efficiency of virtual simulation laboratory can be improved.In the future,with the development of information technology and network platform,the function and application of virtual simulation experiment platform will be further expanded.
