NANSLO Update Presentation at the Consortium for Healthcare Education Online Faculty Professional Development Workshop May 14, 2015 MP4 Video

The North American Network of Science Labs Online (NANSLO) has developed 27 remote web-based NANSLO lab activities for biology, chemistry, and allied health courses as part of the U.S. Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant. Students access these lab activities through the Internet and perform experimentation using robotics connected to scientific equipment and controlled through the NANSLO web-based interface. Institutions reserve times for students to complete assigned NANSLO lab activities and students access the lab activity at a time selected by them through the NANSLO Network Scheduling System. The NANSLO team presented updates on the work completed to date as part of this grant.
