Providing a human biology laboratory for distant learners

Providing a human biology laboratory for distant learners Abstract This paper describes the development and pilot testing of a human biology laboratory course delivered over the Education Network of Maine. The project serves as an illustrative case of the general problem of teaching science laboratory courses at a distance. The development process is described within the framework of an instructional systems design (ISD) model. The model is described in some detail and the decisions and actions taken at each stage are outlined to provide a “snapshot” of the course and a description of the critical issues that were considered at various stages of the development process. Finally, the development team reflects on the experience and discusses some generally applicable issues that arise when considering the development of laboratory courses for distance delivery. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Distance Education Taylor & Francis
