Moving the Laboratory Online: Situating the Online Laboratory Learning Experience for Future Success (MLO) is a unique publication drawn from years of Sloan-C collaboration among scientists who design as they design a distributed model for sharing instruments, instructional resources, and expertise among institutions to enhance learning.
Bringing together multidisciplinary researchers, educators, administrators and IT developers , the book examines the challenges of teaching science online in the broader contexts of educational and technological change. It presents case studies, effective practices, and analyses—all aimed to continue building the community of interest and practice. While online labs may not yet involve the sights, sounds, and smells of traditional hands-on laboratories, the evidence is that online learners have a better grasp of experimental design, data quality and analysis, and the processes of “real” science in today’s technology-driven world.
