The Colorado Community College System

Eight key features of the Colorado Community College Systems (CCCS) online labs for teaching science which, taken together, are game changing:

  • common science curriculum within all 13 colleges in the CCCS
  • online science courses available to any student registered with a CCCS college
  • complete associate science degrees available fully online (as well as on campus)
  • integrated use of remote labs and home kits for science lab work for online learners
  • consortium approach to the design and evaluation of remote labs and remote experiments
  • remote labs shared or cloned across several states/provinces
  • substantial federal and foundation grant funding
  • major potential for expansion of both online labs and online lab experiments
