Educational Technology

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated virtual laboratory options for remote learners.
Existing online resources were insufficient for comprehensive course goals, risking loss of experimental logic and application.
A need existed for interactive virtual labs that familiarized students with equipment, avoiding passive video demonstrations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop interactive virtual laboratory modules using Storyline 360 for a Biology Project Lab course.
To accommodate remote learners and those in quarantine while maintaining course integrity.
To provide an alternative to passive video demonstrations, offering interactive learning experiences.

Main Methods:

Utilized Storyline 360 to create a series of interactive online lab modules.
Integrated modules with the learning management system (LMS).
Included diverse interactive exercises: video demonstrations, short answer responses, image selection, drag-and-drop, and procedural step organization.

Main Results:

Developed adaptable virtual lab modules for remote and quarantined students.
Modules were integrated into the LMS, offering interactive exercises.
Students appreciated the interactive nature and recommended retaining the labs as supplemental resources.

Conclusions:

Storyline 360 is an effective platform for creating adaptable virtual laboratory modules.
Interactive online labs can supplement in-person experiences and enhance remote learning.
The developed modules can be shared and customized by instructors for various laboratory courses.
