Date: 10 Mar 1993 09:17:47 -0500 From: "Sofer, William H" Subject: [*] AGenT Enclosed is AGenT, a piece of educational software that makes use of a simulated laboratory to help middle and high school biology students understand some areas of biochemical genetics. AGenT is a stand-alone application created in SuperCard. It runs only on a color-capable Macintosh. AGenT stands for Automated Genetics Tutor. It was written by Bill Sofer of the Waksman Institute at Rutgers University and Alan Gerstein of Pharmacia Biotech Inc. It has been designed to supplement a "module" - a set of laboratory exercises - entitled "Molecular Aspects of Gene Activity" that was developed under the auspices of NSF and Merck-sponsored grants to Bill Sofer and George Pallrand of Rutgers. AGenT is SchoolWare (see the program and Readme file for more information).
