A better online microbiology simulation

VUMIE is a “flight simulator” for the Microbiology lab, a simulation that requires the same heads-on, hands-on effort students must master in the wetlab.  It provides meaningful practice for microbiology students, tests students’ micro lab skills and knowledge, and for the past 25 years has been a basic component of many traditional, online, and hybrid microbiology labs taught worldwide.

In 2023, VUMIE Online becomes the latest version of this award winning software. It features a new look, more structure for teaching microbiology, and a new collection of activities and resources for students and instructors…all centered around its tried and true simulation.
