The Bacteriology CD-ROM is being produced with the collaboration of the Department of Microbiology, the Centre for Instructional Technology and the Centre for Development of Teaching & Learning. It is designed as a resource for second year Medicine and third year Science students who need to be familiar with, and understand the rational behind, many laboratory techniques and tests important in diagnostic bacteriology. The goal of the project is to provide these students with a flexible learning and reference tool that can be used at the student's own pace.
