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
