PARTICIPATE IN ASYNCHRONOUS SESSIONS

You can view the sessions by clicking on any of the presentations listed. Discovery Sessions are asynchronous and available at any time throughout the event. They do not have an assigned date and time. Just access them at your convenience.

Note: You can view the presentations without logging in to VoiceThread, but in order to make comments to the presenters, you will need to log in to or create a new free VoiceThread account. With a free account, you are afforded unlimited commenting.

CONTRIBUTE YOUR OWN STORY VIA THE COMMUNITY STORYTELLING FORUM

Are you a STEM educator who has experience using virtual Labs in the online or digital modality? Are you a technology partner who intentionally considers learning outcomes as you design? Have you experienced barriers to lab implementation in the last few months or are you expecting any as we prepare for fall? Share your story at the OLC Ideate Labs for Online STEM event. Whether it be a successful use-case scenario, a narrative based in failure, a provocation about where we need to head next as a community, or tips, tricks, and guidance, we look forward to you joining the dialogue.
