Classroom Instruction @ Scitable

Classrooms

Scitable Classrooms are rich research spaces that allow you to provide your students a custom online reading list, threaded discussions, news feeds, and research tools.

For your online reading list, you can pull from our library of more than 500 expert-authored, peer-reviewed, readable explorations of key concepts in life sciences commissioned and edited by our team of Nature Publishing Group staff editors. Designed to guide students beyond memorization of scientific facts into a deep understanding of the scientific method, the experimental tradition, and the nuances of data analysis, our articles help students learn to think scientifically. Most articles link out to free versions of milestone primary literature from Nature, Nature Genetics, and other NPG journals.

Join the more than 2000 instructors worldwide who have created Scitable Classrooms for their students. Our step-by-step wizard will guide you through the process in less than 10 minutes.

Custom eBooks

You can customize any of the packaged eBooks we've published for your classes. Our wizard tool will guide you through the process of picking an eBook and re-organizing it, or adding your own material. Make it match your syllabus, however you prefer. You can also change it later at will. Then you can decide who sees it, which groups or individual colleagues you'll share it with.

Classrooms and eBooks

Your virtual classroom is an easy space to present your custom eBook. Start by building your classroom. When you are done, there will be a link on your classroom page to "Create a Custom Book" that will take you to our eBook wizard tool. By following this tool, you will have your own customized packet in a short time, with access limited to your own students or colleagues.
