This site, provided by the American Society for Microbiology, showcases a searchable database of over 150 images of microbes. The images, submitted by professional microbiologists, have been carefully reviewed for their educational quality and are presented in formats ranging from high-powered microscopic stills to QuickTime animations and film footage. Each image includes a background summary of the organism and notes the research project the image is taken from; some give Spanish or Portuguese translations. Examples of interesting images include scanning electron micrographs of a cytotoxic lymphocyte destroying a tumor and a QuickTime animation of the microorganism-macrophage interaction of the immune system. This site also includes curriculum resources, searchable by keyword or core concept, and a link to the new e-journal _Microbiology Educaton_(PDF, .html).

Watkins Graduate Research Fellowship Program ASM Teleconference: Laboratory Diagnosis of Ocular Infections - February 8, 2012, 1:00 pm ET. Welcome to MicrobeLibrary! Collections Gallery (formerly the Atlas Collection) is a collection of images, videos, and animations that can be used to enhance lecture or lab presentations. Individual items include brief legends that describe the items and how they were obtained. A collection of items around a central theme (e.g., Gram stain and MacConkey agar) includes a title for the collection and a title and short description for each item (e.g., figure title and legend). Visual Media Briefs (formerly the Visual Collection) consist of high-quality, short communications with digital images, animations, and videos about the microbial world. Briefs include introduction, methods, discussion, and reference sections. Briefs describe the item and how it was obtained (e.g., cultured and isolated), its significance and/or use, magnification, and references. Visual Media Briefs are similar to short research communications (or briefs) in scientific journals. Laboratory Protocols are information briefs about standard laboratory tests and include the procedural steps as well as the purpose, theory, history, safety considerations, tips and comments, and references. Critical Thinking Question Bank is a collection of multiple-choice questions that go beyond rote memory and regurgitation of content to requiring critical thought. The level of critical thinking is designated minimally at level three (application) in Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Levels. Designed especially for interactive learning using audience response systems, the questions are of value for pre- and post-tests or traditional exams, and may be used in the classroom or laboratory or online in blended- and distance-learning experiences. (Coming in summer 2012) Alternatives to Lecturing: A Pilot Program for MLTV is a collection of short video clips showcasing innovative and engaging pedagogical tools related to teaching microbiology. MLTV is a proposed channel of YouTube videos that are scientifically accurate, pedagogically sound, and visually and audibly clear — warranting “ML Approval” stature. The videos may be produced by ASM or the public at large. The first set of YouTube videos will inform and demonstrate effective approaches to teaching based on research about how people learn science. (Coming in summer 2012) News *ALERT* The ML Archives Site is offline for technical maintenance. Please check back for an update in 2012. Now available: Two new Visual Media Briefs and five new Gallery and Laboratory Protocol resources.
