Interactive tutorials and hands-on activities for Biology, Medicine, Health, and Humanities The Virtual Labs Project began in 1998 with funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to create online interactive media which help students learn difficult concepts in human biology. As part of our outreach and sustainability efforts we teach an interaction design course at Stanford ( CS377d ), offer student and teacher internships, and lead workshops (in media development, educational technology, and implementation). This website is in collaboration with other Stanford programs to collect and disseminate our materials to educators and students. The materials on this website is open to use in an educational setting. We welcome new collaborations.
