Meet the Editor: Michael Collins
His interest in computer data acquisition began in the early 1980s, and he became convinced of its ability to enhance the lab experiences of his students as well as to prepare them to function in a modern lab setting. He has developed experiments across Viterbo's curriculum that use MicroLab for guided inquiry experiments as well as for more routine data logging and analysis. He has also given presentations on the role of computers in the laboratory to facilitate learning chemistry and in the assessment of lab outcomes. He has been using MicroLab products since they first arrived on the scene, and he continues to develop ideas for new applications of MicroLab in undergraduate teaching and research. |
