Abstract	An important learning goal of a molecular biology curriculum is a certain proficiency level in experimental design. Currently students are confronted with experimental approaches in textbooks, in lectures and in the laboratory. However, most students do not reach a satisfactory level of competence in the design of experimental approaches. This paper describes the development of a Web-based application that supports the learning of this design skill. The application consists of an activating part and a library part. In the activating part, the student is presented with a biological question that must be solved experimentally. Therefore, the student has to make a set of coherent choices, execute steps in an experiment and interpret the experimental results. Furthermore, a DNA sequence has to be analyzed with Web-based databases. The library consists of learning objects that present essential background information. A test with a small group of students yielded very promising results. (Author)
