At that time, she was teaching science at Sinclair College when her dean asked her department to start putting classes online, something that felt improbable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Hollebeke was also intrigued. \u201cWhy is it that we as scientists encourage our students to go into the field of science \u2014 to be curious, inventive, put a man on the moon \u2014 but we don\u2019t take that approach in our science courses?\u201d she asks. \u201cWe are almost myopic, yet we expect students to learn to be innovative.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She started to see the online course initiative as an opportunity to encourage students to use their curiosity in new ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although lab kits were starting to become available in the marketplace, Sinclair College opted to build their own virtual lab in collaboration with designers and developers from their Distance Learning Department and with external professionals. To test if it worked, Sinclair emulated existing on-campus courses in virtual labs and then compared learning outcomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, the online students were doing better than their on-campus peers, and it may have been because failure is an option. A student can make a mistake in a virtual lab and do the experiment over again, whereas, in a 90-minute, once-a-week lab, there may be time for only one attempt at the experiment. That allows some emphasis to shift from why the experiment protocols aren\u2019t working to the scientific knowledge that is the point of the experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Related reading: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.everylearnereverywhere.org\/es\/blog\/meet-the-expert-how-this-chemistry-instructor-uses-climate-justice-to-connect-science-with-personal-experience\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How This Chemistry Instructor Uses Climate Justice to Connect Science with Personal Experience<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h5><b>Benefits<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online labs, experiments, simulations, and visualizations allow students to interact with and review biological processes, chemical reactions, and the laws of physics. For example, a student might manipulate the variables in an environmental science experiment to observe different results, or they might make multiple tries in a low-stakes dissection of a digital specimen. Another remote learning option is lab kits that include all the necessary supplies mailed directly to students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now Hollebeke is a strong advocate of online science courses. She sees three major benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h6><b>Syncing lectures and labs<\/b><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In traditional classes students typically attend lecture three times a week and lab twice a week. But Hollebeke says lectures and labs often don\u2019t synchronize. Students are attending lectures on a new concept while conducting experiments to practice last week\u2019s concept \u2014 or worse, working on lab content for topics covered in next week\u2019s lecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting science classes online enables instructors to align the theory with practice. Students are manipulating the relevant data or learning the critical thinking skills that go with a theory.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h6><b> Keeping U.S. science competitive<\/b><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hollebeke says colleges and universities are struggling to graduate students, both majors and non-majors, with the knowledge and skills needed to keep the U.S. science and technology sectors competitive. She believes the U.S. needs another \u201cSputnik moment,\u201d which must be nurtured first in classrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where online education opened a door by expanding access to science education to many more people. \u201cIf we don\u2019t jump through that door quickly enough, we\u2019re not only going to slip, we\u2019re going to slide quickly and lose any competitive edge we may have had,\u201d Hollebeke says.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h6><b> Closing the gap on equity<\/b><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online labs have become more familiar because of a global emergency. But they shouldn\u2019t be thought of as only a substitute for a crisis situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online labs are also an option to enhance and support campus-based courses. When students practice lab skills online, they\u2019re not as intimidated when they go into the campus lab. This is especially important for students from school districts with fewer resources or who didn\u2019t have summer and after-school enrichment activities that prioritized hands-on learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe secondary ed context needs to be connected more directly to the higher ed expectations, and virtual labs add the reinforcement and support students need to make sure it\u2019s equitable when they do get into the classroom,\u201d Hollebeke says. \u201cThe lab kits do the same thing. You can pace yourself.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Trends in virtual labs<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the pandemic, faculty were forced to go online and this gave people a chance to experience and warm up to the technology. Hollebeke feels many instructors discovered that online science courses weren\u2019t what they expected. They witnessed students getting valuable learning out of the experience, and they discovered what they expected to be just \u201ckitchen chemistry\u201d could be innovative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou\u2019re just getting to the same outcome using different paths,\u201d Hollebeke says. \u201cThere are still going to be those who feel they need that \u2018sage on the stage\u2019 moment. But I think we\u2019re going to see more of them using virtual labs as preparatory in a blended environment. Or they\u2019ll have students work in the actual lab and then have them go practice a few more times in the virtual lab.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hollebeke also predicts that virtual labs will become more immersive as virtual reality and augmented reality technologies improve. \u201cInstead of going to a tutorial center and having someone explain meiosis and mitosis to you again, you\u2019ll put on a pair of virtual reality goggles and manipulate the cells yourself and watch how the chromosomes move,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Advice for instructors and administrators<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The benefits of online science learning and how lab kits and virtual labs can enhance a student\u2019s learning experience are becoming clearer, and \u201cwe just need to keep building our pool of champions,\u201d Hollebeke says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She wants administrators to understand that this technology will help infuse the next generation with the knowledge skills needed for the U.S. to keep its competitive edge. \u201cYour school could be one of those that helps the U.S. climb to the top,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hollebeke advises instructors to understand that there is no limit to what the students can learn. Even with safety restrictions and financial restrictions, if faculty members are inspired, curious, and \u201cmoonshot thinkers,\u201d students can be unlimited in their learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs science educators, we need to be willing to take that risk so that we don\u2019t stop inspiring our students, and encouraging their achievements,\u201d Hollebeke says. \u201cThe way we do that is by practicing that ourselves. If the students see that we are big thinkers, driven by curiosity, I think they would benefit from that the most.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Is your institution working on blended models for science courses?
