Online lab sciences leverage innovative strategies and technology to meet traditional lab learning outcomes. Joann Eisberg’s online astronomy labs use a variety of tools and resources that allow students to formulate scientific investigations, observe/measure phenomena, and gather/analyze/report qualitative and quantitative data. Students may choose among online simulations, online data sets, hands-on activities using common household items, and naked-eye observation, so that all can equitably participate. In this Share Showcase webinar, Joann will provide a brief tour of her fully online, fully OER course, share her teaching strategies, and survey other promising online astronomy lab resources.
