Intro – Paul?

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

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

The WASc Project proposes to make all first and secondyear curriculum required for the Associate of Science Degreeaccessible over the Internet
- including the labs!
We have completed or are just completing the first and second semesters ofGeology, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry.
How do we deliver the labs on-line?
Some labs can be delivered using a lab kit, but some can’t.
The science theory can be delivered on-line with relative ease,but the labs are more challenging.

(Remote Web-based Science Laboratory)
The Remote Web-based Science Laboratory (RWSL):is a software and robotic interface that allows students to interact over the Internet with remote lab equipment to collect authentic real-world data in real time.

Next Generation Learning Challenges
14
- Describe initiative including funding sources, grant and partners WICHE & CCCS - Paul
15
- Present logic model and 8 proposal outcomes - Paul
16
- Describe roles and activities-Ron/Gina (ok, but we’ll need to clarify a couple things here)
17
- Outline phase 2 possibilities of follow-on grant and expanded partners. - all
18
- Talk about the "open" aspects of this initiative – all
19
Wrap-up and Conclusions including a lead-in to Q&A
20
- invite questions from participants- invite discussion on pros and cons of remote web-based science labs- invite expressions of interest in using the RWSL and/or helping with articulation and teaching of science courses- discussion of benefits associated with working in the open, BC based opportunities that come from this initiative- make it known that hands-on opportunities for everyone to try RWSL are available throughout workshop- also mention our new video (assuming we have it).
Part 4 - 10 min Q&A
