In this modern day where technology and gadgets enjoy an omnipresence, learning need no longer be seen as restrictive and boring. With the incorporation of technology into teaching and learning, classroom companions need no longer be books and a chalkboard but iPads and other touch-screen tablets instead. Mixing video teaching with laboratory lessons is a concoction that will make the learning experience more engaging and better supplement written protocols that students are provided with. Here in the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) in Nanyang Technological University (NTU) however, it remains a largely unexplored teaching resource. As such, we believe that it could promise to be beneficial to explore this option and have thus decided to work on creating a video teaching aid. The first of its kind in SBS, this video will endeavour to guide students through the experiment on GST protein extraction and purification.
