The Instructor will betterunderstand individual students’ learning outcomes, weaknesses, and strengths through this directverbal interaction. It also provides an opportunity for the Instructor to get to know each student,especially those who are too shy to speak in class.

Promoting quality STEM Education in the time of Social Distancing (Other)AbstractThe pandemic produced by COVID-19 has forced a radical change in the strategies andmethodologies used to share and transmit knowledge. With the closure of the Schools /Universities, the educational process has been radically transformed from one day to the next.STEM education is based on collaborative work, inquiry, experimentation, problem-solving, andproject generation. This type of education encounters many obstacles in the present situation:students do not have access to laboratories, materials, and other essential supplies to implementan educational process of quality.The Institution has developed alternative ways to promote quality STEM education for

For the laboratory portion, face-to-facelaboratory delivery was offered, but students could choose to stay remote for the laboratory portionas well. For this reason, the laboratory management was challenging. For instance, during theassigned laboratory hours, laboratory instructors had to teach students in the laboratory room as wellas the students who joined the laboratory remotely via a Zoom meeting. During pre-COVID-19 semesters, the available number of kits was close to the maximumenrolled students in one lab section. For example, 18 lab kits can cover one lab

)IntroductionPrior to the global pandemic that led to unprecedented, widespread changes in instructionalstrategies, students’ participation in online laboratory learning was often their prerogative, withseeming advantages and disadvantages. Though past research about online learning, in general,may shed light on instruction with online labs—e.g., [1], [2]—the experiential emphasis oflaboratory learning presents unique challenges in an online environment that must be addressed.Online labs have gained interest in education over the last decades. Starting with rather simple,remotely accessible equipment [3] we can see new examples such as augmented and virtualreality technology making progress for teaching and learning [4].

byscheduling them to teach the same course in multiple semesters, reducing the amount of timerequired for course preparation. While not unexpected, the reduction of 40% does quantify thepotential time that faculty can gain through this personnel management strategy.Of importance to understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on faculty workload, thetime commitments to courses transitioning to asynchronous formats were similar to the numberrequired for the initial course design (when that course had a required laboratory component).Therefore, the transition to asynchronous delivery eliminated the time/effort reductions gainedthrough delivering a course multiple times.
