Zusammenfassung: | Scientific laboratories are among the most challenging course components to integrate
into online instruction. Available technology restricts the design and nature of
experiments, and it can be hard to replicate the collaborative lab environment where
frequent and immediate instructor feedback is the norm. Here we report on technological
and pedagogical aspects of newly developed labs for online courses using the Interactive
Online Lab (iOLab) device. We argue that this technology, coupled with an online course
design emphasizing teamwork, targeted feedbacks, and self-regulation skills, provides a
robust framework for students to do reliable, engaging, inquiry-based and hands-on labs
outside the classroom. After describing the implementation and technology, we explain our
lab objectives and how the labs were integrated into two introductory physics courses. We
conclude with an example lab on kinematics. |
