Abstract
Students of today are difficult to generally classify. They lead complex and full lives that are intimately connected with friends, family, education, activities, and work, among others. Coupled with rising costs of living, students seek alternative means of obtaining post-secondary education, which has the ability to greatly and positively impact their social and financial situation as well as career aspirations. Web-based instruction has the capacity to fulfill this need. Competition for enrollment is fierce, and institutions of higher education that utilize a broad spectrum of media and techniques are the most successful. Though Web-based instruction in the sciences cannot completely supplant the face-to-face curriculum, modules of instruction can be designed and developed that facilitate student learning and engagement. The research project at hand illustrates how science laboratory instruction can be adapted to the online learning environment.
