Action learning-based MOOC to enhance laboratory learning outcomes: Introducing the MELLO Project

Abstract

Teaching in laboratories plays an integral role in education. This includes both proximal as well as remote laboratories. The MOOC for Enhancing Laboratory Learning Outcomes (MELLO) is designed to assist educators at all levels, from school to university, to improve the quality of laboratory experiences in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. Experienced educators seeking to review and revise current practices or beginning educators are all welcome to participate. This demonstration introduces the course and shows how two modes of participation are being supported. This covers both face-to-face as well as technology-mediated laboratories.
