Construction and effect of information management platform of life science experimental teaching center

Abstract

To give full play to lab potential and fulfill the unique feature of training talents for valuing practice and seeking innovation, an intelligent, efficient, and open information management platform has been built in the experimental teaching center of life sciences in Northwestern Polytechnical University. This study constructs an intelligent, efficient and open source information management platform. The platform is composed of five modules: comprehensive lab management system, instrument and equipment management system, reagents and consumables management system, laboratory opening platform, and laboratory teaching management system. The use of the management platform has solved the problems of miscellaneous teaching data, insufficient sharing of teaching resources, conflict of course arrangement and low lab open utilization under the traditional management mode. It also stimulates the enthusiasm and initiative of students in innovation and practice, perfects the management mechanism of making teachers play a leading role in experimental teaching, and improves the work efficiency of laboratory managers.
