  1. North American Network of Science Labs On-line (NANSLO) NANSLO Internet Students Paul Stacey, Pat Shea, Rhonda Epper

  2. In the beginning – a BC perspective … Space Science and Astronomy (SSA) Lab Science Courses - Entirely Web-based NIC’s SSA courses are taught from a remote community on the BC Central Coast and reach students anywhere there is Internet access The Labs are taught on-line using locally available materials and …

  3. Tatla Lake On-line Observatory TLOO allows students to control a research grade telescope over the web. Space Science is multi-disciplinary, so how do we teach ALL sciences over the web?

  4. Online Program Development • $9 million (2003-2010) • 144 grants awarded (2003-2010) • 100% participation across the post-secondary system • 83% partnerships - mostly inter-institutional but also with K-12, health authorities, not-for-profits, professional associations, e-learning companies, First Nations, foundations, amongst others. • 47 credentials developed in whole or part via OPDF • 355 courses, 12 workshops, 19 web sites/tools and 396 course components (learning objects, labs, textbooks, manuals, videos) developed across almost all academic fields of study • 100% licensed all licensed as Open Educational Resources

  5. Web-based Associate of Science (WASc) Project The WASc Project proposes to make all first and Second year curriculum required for the Associate of Science Degree accessible over the Internet - including the labs! CC licensed by ImageEditor We have completed or are just completing the first and second semesters of Geology, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. The science theory can be delivered on-line with relative ease, but the labs are more challenging. Some labs can be delivered using a lab kit, but some can’t. How do we deliver the labs on-line? http://rwsl.nic.bc.ca/

  6. RWSL The Remote Web-based Science Laboratory (RWSL): • is a software and robotic interface students control over the web • interacts with and manipulates remote lab equipment • collects authentic real-world scientific data in real time This is the concept that the NANSLO project will duplicate and further develop in Colorado

  7. RWSL Overview RWSL Lab Equipment • Physics • Air Track • Sound • Spectrometer • E/M Apparatus • Biology • Microscope • Chemistry • Spectrometer Observation Physical Manipulation Observation Students Manipulation Internet Communications Data Acquisition Data
