Project Description
Cellulearn is an educational interactive didactic where the user explores a 3D model of a eukaryotic cell in order to learn how to identify the different components and organelles within the cell. The user can manipulate the opacity of each cell component to further investigate the structures. When an organelle is clicked, an information box containing its function, location, and electron microscopy image appears. Cellulearn is a fun way to help undergraduate students learn the basic building blocks of eukaryotic cells.
