Educating Laboratory Science Learners at a Distance Using Interactive Television
Reddy, Christopher
American Journal of Distance Education, v28 n1 p62-69 2014
Laboratory science classes offered to students learning at a distance require a methodology that allows for the completion of tactile activities. Literature describes three different methods of solving the distance laboratory dilemma: kit-based laboratory experience, computer-based laboratory experience, and campus-based laboratory experience, which all allow the implementation of laboratory activities to students learning science at a distance. This article describes an additional method of implementing laboratory activities using interactive television. Interactive television allows real-time, synchronous student-instructor communication and interaction.
