Description of Event:

Ron Krempasky will present: After years of experimenting with different science laboratory approaches and delivery models for distance learning, a growing number of institutions are now convinced that high quality science labs can be offered for many online science courses including but not limited to Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Microbiology, Natural Science and Physics. We will discuss existing science laboratory options in distance learning, including hybrid labs, computer simulations and virtual labs, "kitchen" labs, remote access labs, plus instructor-generated and commercial laboratory kits.
Shan Huang will present: Breaking new grounds - an attempt to put an existing classroom Astronomy lab with many hands-on activities online. What are the successes and where did we trip? How did students learn and what did they say? Join our discussion to find out and share your experience with everyone.

These two comments - one from a chemistry professor and the other from an administrator really sum up what it we do - allow students to have a genuine high quality lab experience away from the campus-based laboratory...

AHS lab kits are certainly helping students get the kind of hands-on experience that a face to face chemistry lab provides. While certainly not providing each and every technique, these experiments go a long way in providing a medium for the students to get a first hand experience of learning Chemistry by doing. Further, it does provide a medium for students to think about the experiment they are performing and draw conclusions as in a regular brick and mortar Chemistry Lab. Venkat Chebolu Chemistry Professor SUNY Jefferson NY


We adopted your lab kits to complement our web-based Health Science courses and they are great! Our students get a genuine wet lab experience without coming to campus and excel in their classes. These kits provide a genuine science lab learning experience and are infinitely better than passive simulations. Alison Jacobs – Department Chair Health Sciences CCCOnline.
