Abstract:
The main goal for this work was to provide information as to the possibilities of creating an online or hybrid option for an upper-level biomechanics laboratory that is in keeping with course goals. Conversion of the laboratory modules for online use was described with detailed setup and learning goals. The lecture portions and most labs could be easily converted to online-only options. Some of the other labs could be offered as part of a hybrid delivery method with reasons for what these labs could provide in-person students. Options are also given so that the course can be made completely online if needed. Troubleshooting of mechanical experiments is lost with a completely online presentation; however, experimental design and many other biomechanical techniques are maintained with the online environment.
