== An Example Assessment ==

The broader goal of the BioMolViz project is to build a repository of assessments that instructors can use in their courses to evaluate visual literacy gains. These assessments are written in teams, peer reviewed, and will undergo validation by an expert panel. Using the Framework, these assessments are designed from the learning objectives.

To show mastery, the learner will first focus on <scene name='86/865933/Unit_a/5'>subunit A of the complex</scene>, hiding subunit B for clarity. An <scene name='86/865933/Zoom_ligand_spacefill/3'>unobscured view of the ligand</scene> is obtained by rotating the macromolecule and zooming in. To display interactions, the learner will first replace the spacefilling representation of the ligand with a <scene name='86/865933/Zoom_ligand_stick/2'>stick representation</scene>. To view the interacting residues, the learner shows amino acid residues within 5Å of the active site <scene name='86/865933/Zoom_ligand_plus_as_stick/3'>as sticks and displays them with CPK coloring</scene>. For contrast, the learner colors the ligand magenta. In this view, water molecules within 5Å of the ligand are displayed as well. The view has gotten busy, so to focus in on the active site residues, the learner can <scene name='86/865933/As_no_cartoon/1'>hide the cartoon rendering of the protein</scene>, and then show the <scene name='86/865933/As_no_cartoon_with_labels/1'>active site residues with labels</scene>. ~~Finding~~ polar contacts ~~to nearby residues is generally quite straightforward in most molecular visualization software programs~~.
