Integrating computer‐aided modeling into distance learning to teach molecular genetics during the COVID‐19 pandemic

Abstract

This article presents the integration of Tinkercad, a free online modeling program that allows students to model molecular genetic concepts, into the distance learning process. The students had the opportunity to learn molecular genetics in a fun and more efficient way in spite of the limitations of the COVID-19 lockdown, and, in this respect, it can be said that the application was a good compensation for face-to-face learning.
