Comparison of hybrid learning and remote education in the implementation of the "Adopt a Microorganism" methodology.

The Internet has changed the way teachers and students access information and build knowledge. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges for both teachers and students and a demand for new methodologies of remote learning. In the life sciences, mixing online content with practical activiti...

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges for both teachers and students and a demand for new methodologies of remote learning.
