Incorporating Virtual Labs in Non-Majors Biology to Decrease Bottleneck Issues and Increase Student Success

BIOL 10 is one of the largest courses at Fresno State and is experiencing bottleneck issues due to the limitation on seating in the laboratory portion of the course. A hybrid model of virtual and physical labs will alleviate those seating constraints as well as allow us to shift some of the Teaching Assistants into the large lection classes to facilitate the inclusion of active learning techniques.
