Workshop Topic, Population, Outcomes, and Gap

Topic: Development of an effective online laboratory demonstration complement to a distance education chemistry course. Population: Educational Technology students and professionals as well as distance education chemistry students at Oak Meadow School currently enrolled on this course. Outcomes: An online version of a typical in-class chemistry laboratory demonstration that prepares the student for own laboratory activity. The online laboratory version should have a comparable learning value to an in-class version. Gap: The gap consists of a carefully considered comparison of the different values that a student would gain from either a live in-class demonstration or a virtual demonstration that is available online. The participant must judge the learning efficiency based on his or her observations of lab videos that are supplied and against their own real experience with the laboratory materials and processes. This is basically a "before and after" opinion gap and includes comparisons with other videos and refinements in the video in question. =﻿ =
