Area of Science:

  • Biology Education
  • Undergraduate Research

Background:

  • Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are replacing traditional labs in biology.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated adapting CUREs for online learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and assess an online CURE.
  • To compare learning gains between online and in-person CUREs.

Main Methods:

  • A hands-on CURE was adapted for an online format.
  • Learning gains were compared between online and in-person CURE cohorts.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in learning gains were observed between online and in-person CURE participants.
  • The online CURE successfully engaged students in the scientific process.
