Abstract:
Online STEM laboratories are possible for every learner. The design of an online forensic science laboratory course can be as effective as traditional and other online courses. The theory behind teaching tools developed should be considered throughout the design process. Using the learning management system to engage students with the course material, each other, and the instructor is also key in online courses. Difficult tasks were conquered by using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to identify barriers and create solutions. Creation of hands-on and virtual labs along with accessibility concerns of web-based content is possible in the online environment.
