DNA transcription is a process that involves the transcribing of genetic information from DNA to RNA. Genes are transcribed in order to produce proteins.
Type of Material:
Presentation, Reading material for asynchronous, synchronous and in-person teaching.
Teaching material - has got text, images and videos. Teaching by visualization.
Material- students can do notes making and then one sentence summary by students to learn by doing.
Assessment - based on this materials students can also be asked to prepare infographics.
Recommended Uses:
This is for general information/homework
Technical Requirements:
This site requires an internet connection.
Identify Major Learning Goals:
In DNA transcription, DNA is transcribed to produce RNA. The RNA transcript is then used to produce a protein.
The three main steps of transcription are initiation, elongation, and termination.
In initiation, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to DNA at the promoter region.
In elongation, RNA polymerase transcribes DNA into RNA.
In termination, RNA polymerase releases from DNA ending transcription.
Reverse transcription processes use the enzyme reverse transcriptase to convert RNA to DNA.
Target Student Population:
College General Ed, College Lower Division
Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills:
This is introductory material, so I don't think any pre-requisite knowledge is needed.
Content Quality
Rating:
Strengths:
The information is basic.
The suppporting pictures are good.
Highly rich in content and context of Nucleic Acid and ProteinConceptual flow of information via text and images.
Can also be printed and used by students as a handout.
Concerns:
Some more vidoes links for 5Es instructional teaching model will be good to build further competency level of students.
Links to external resources to explore more information such as research articles on Nucleic Acid might be beneficial.
Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool
Rating:
Strengths:
The subtopics are well orgainzed.
Headings for each paragraph.
Easy to understand.
Can be accessed from remote locations with and without internet.
Concerns:
Few research articles should be integrated for purpose of discussion and assessment comparing various types of nucleic acids.
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
The site is clear and well organized.
The informatrion was last updated December 10, 2021.
Detailed, clear and sequential information with text, images and video.
Concerns:
Some questions for formative assessment for each page or paragraphs on process of transcription & translation might be useful.
