Mishaps and spills allowed – they happen

I know labs are being recorded some with students and others as demonstrations -two faculty at “Missouri S&T have refined their approach, which uses real-time live-streamed demonstrations of experiments.”

…”n the livestream labs, mistakes and spills can happen, which is part of the learning too. The instructors show how to clean up the spills following safety guidelines. In fact, writing safety rules is part of the students’ coursework in the class.”

As for participation “future sessions “may require students to add screenshots of the livestreamed sessions to their post-lab reports and provide individual answers to assigned tasks during the livestream,” said Woelk. Recordings won’t be made available, thereby preventing students from scanning through the session to find the answers they need for their reporting.”
