Web-based Associate of Science Program Development Project
This is a proposed 5 year project that will see the development of a web-based delivery option for the Associate of Science Degree Program. While we intend to place the theory portion of science courses into a web-based format, the most challenging part of offering lab science courses via the web is the delivery of the lab component. If the lab component quality is insufficient, transfer credit is not consistently and reliably granted; generally speaking, science courses using primarily virtual labs have difficulty gaining transfer credit as lab courses. We believe that web-based lab science courses that use remote sensing and control technology mediated lab exercises will overcome this difficulty. This project will develop an entirely web-based Associate of Science (ASc) degree program option. Our experience with NIC’s Space Science and Astronomy (SSA) courses and the Tatla Lake On-line Observatory (TLOO) has shown that web-based courses which include a lab component based on real labs that collect authentic data, even from a remote site, will have a high probability of receiving transfer credit.
