draft for ETUG 2011

1. NANSLO*BC Innovation Goes International Maybe a NANSLO logo here? By Paul Stacey Gina Bennett Ron Evans *North American Network of Science Labs On-line 1

2. Intro – Paul? 2

3. In the beginning … Space Science and Astronomy (SSA) Lab Science Courses - Entirely Web-based NIC’s SSA courses are taught from a remote community on the BC Central Coast and reach students anywhere there is Internet access The Labs are taught on-line using locally available materials and … 3

4. 4 Tatla Lake On-line Observatory TLOO allows students to control a research grade telescope over the web. Space Science is multi-disciplinary, so how do we teach ALL sciences over the web?

5. 5 Web-based Associate of Science (WASc) Project The WASc Project proposes to make all first and second year curriculum required for the Associate of Science Degree accessible over the Internet - including the labs! We have completed or are just completing the first and second semesters of Geology, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. The science theory can be delivered on-line with relative ease, but the labs are more challenging. Some labs can be delivered using a lab kit, but some can’t. How do we deliver the labs on-line? I need other science type pictures here

6. RWSL 6 (Remote Web-based Science Laboratory) The Remote Web-based Science Laboratory (RWSL): is a software and robotic interface that allows students to interact over the Internet with remote lab equipment to collect authentic real-world data in real time. I need other RWSL pictures here

7. 7 NANSLO The NANSLO project will duplicate our work in Colorado and further develop this technology. I need other RWSL pictures here

8. licensing of resources - Creative Commons vs. BC Commons - Paul 8

9. BC Challenges & Opportunities 9

10. - transfer credit agreements - Gina 10

11. - quality of online science curricula - Gina 11

12. distributed RWSL network and RWSL as a shared service - Ron/Paul 12

13. demo of RWSL from student perspective - Ron/Gina 13

14. Next Generation Learning Challenges 14

15. - Describe initiative including funding sources, grant and partners WICHE & CCCS - Paul 15

16. - Present logic model and 8 proposal outcomes - Paul 16

17. - Describe roles and activities- Ron/Gina (ok, but we’ll need to clarify a couple things here) 17

18. - Outline phase 2 possibilities of follow-on grant and expanded partners. - all 18

19. - Talk about the "open" aspects of this initiative – all 19

20. Wrap-up and Conclusions including a lead-in to Q&A 20

21. Part 4 - 10 min Q&A - invite questions from participants- invite discussion on pros and cons of remote web-based science labs- invite expressions of interest in using the RWSL and/or helping with articulation and teaching of science courses- discussion of benefits associated with working in the open, BC based opportunities that come from this initiative- make it known that hands-on opportunities for everyone to try RWSL are available throughout workshop - also mention our new video (assuming we have it). 21

22. Credits 22
