Remote Instruction for Laboratory Activities

Ideas

• While access is available, instructors working with TA’s to record demos and lab activities in the lab.  
  • Depending on type of experiments, record video using mounted GoPro.
• Creating written sets of step by step instructions/procedures for running experiments (to accompany video content if possible) - dependent on goals.
• For undergrad students who were previously running experiments who no longer able to access labs
  • Pair up with grad student to help w/ data analysis)
  • Require more intensive literature reviews or background research activities
  • Instructors are looking for other ideas to make students more productive in absence of lab work.
