.Since 2004, our computer science program has attempted to achieve many of the samepedagogical goals as the above robot-based curricula through the use of an Ada TurtleGraphicspackage, which gives students and entry-level way to create programs that include graphics.Namely, the objectives were to maintain student motivation in the program and teachfundamental computer science concepts to beginning programmers.23 Since educational robotshave become less expensive, however, we have begun to explore ways to update our CS1curriculum to recognize the increased influence of robotics in the field of computer science andto increase the interdisciplinary ties between our computer science, electrical engineering, andinformation technology programs.In many

of bias,increase a sense of agency, and ultimately empower students.1. IntroductionGiven clear evidence of disparities in educational attainment, much importance has been placedon increasing use of inclusive teaching to help close this so-called achievement gap [1]–[4]. Inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, deliberate inclusive practicemay reduce the “leaving” phenomenon where those underrepresented amongst STEM majorssuch as women and minoritized racial groups would otherwise fail to complete their STEMdegree program [5]–[7]. For example, active learning has been shown to improve learning gainsand reduce failure rates especially among underrepresented minority (URM) students [2].Similarly, current recommendations

COVID-19. On the other hand, virtual labs, remote controllabs, or video-based labs are good alternatives when students cannot perform the laboratory tasksin person. [8[. Remote laboratories allow the implementation of experiments through theinternet, whereas video-based activities provide a step-by-step overview of a real lab. In thisway, students can visualize the whole experimental process and its environment through a video.Zhai, Wang, and Liu provide examples for some of the above labs in electrical engineering [8].In March 2020, Columbia College Chicago decided to close the campus following the lockdownpolicies and health concerns. Faculty received instructions to transform their courses from in-person to remote learning. One of the
