?? Ready to ???????? ???? some student success in your lab courses? ?????? Whether online or on-campus, it’s all about having the right ingredients!

Striking the right balance of hands-on with virtual labs is an ?????? that when done right leads to better engagement and greater student success. Here's how to do it. When to use hands-on labs ??Fostering a more authentic and engaging lab experience: Mirroring the quality of a campus lab experience as closely as you can by having your students physically conduct experiments will benefit them. ??Increasing the likelihood of transfer-ability: Incorporating a hands-on component helps ensure students can use your course for transfer credit.? That said, some labs are better for simulation. In addition to identifying learning outcomes and topics when deciding which lessons to make hands-on vs. virtual-only, take heed of the following: ??Accessibility: Consider keeping labs as accessible as possible by presenting a simulation for all hands-on experiments. ??Observing the unobservable: Virtual simulations allow students to ‘conduct’ experiments on phenomena that would normally be unobservable or unsafe to observe. Simulations can portray abstract objects, such as light rays, that students cannot see in a physical lab.? ??Balancing costs: With virtual simulations, there is no need for equipment or materials. Students aren’t paying for the shipping costs or materials required for hands-on lab kits.? ??Practicing, repeating & preparing for on-campus labs: Finally, virtual simulations provide a low stakes environment in which students can run a digital experiment as many times as needed to get the desired result.? The art of pairing the right virtual labs with hands-on labs will lead to a lab experience that engages and inspires students to think more deeply about the world around them.
