Running NEURON tutorials on webpage
Posted: Sun Mar 05, 2017 1:27 pm
Hey everyone,
Our lab uses some tutorials we developed with NEURON to teach undergraduate neuroscience. We also disseminate these tutorials to other instructors. The tutorials are very popular because they are interactive i.e. they allow students to "block" sodium channels and see the effect on currents and membrane potential, for instance.
We would like these tutorials to be available in a sort of web-based interactive form so that students can simply visit a website and interact with them instead of needing to download NEURON and compile the .mod files. Alternatively, being able to generate an .exe would be another option.
Does anyone know the best way to do this conversion? We don't really have experience in web programming so I'm not sure what the standard is for developing interactive web-based tutorials. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
