Hands-on Labs to Host Webinar on Teaching Science Lab Classes Online

DENVER, June 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Hands-On Labs, the leading provider of online science learning, will host an upcoming webinar entitled “Teach Science Lab Courses Online: A Real-World Case Study of Ocean County College,” featuring Professor Marc LaBella as guest presenter.

Professor LaBella, a longtime member of Hands-On Labs’ advisory board, will discuss best practices acquired and results achieved throughout his decade of real-world experience with Hands-On Labs’ (HOL) online science learning platform HOLcloud.

I'm looking forward to presenting the various tools and functions included in HOLcloud. We'll look at how well the cloud platform works with HOL's lab-grade student science kits. We'll also discuss some of the positive results we've seen at OCC regarding improved student performance and decreased instructor workload.
