Denver, CO, March 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A new website, www.labpaq.com is launched by Hands-On Labs, Inc. (HOL). HOL produces LabPaqs®; academically aligned boxed collections of science laboratory materials for higher education courses in all laboratory science disciplines. The website expedites ordering for college and high school students plus provides science educators with the course specific information to adopt appropriate LabPaqs for their online and on-campus sciences courses.
Despite online learning’s proven effectiveness and projected annual growth rate of 15% - 20% for the next decade, educators have been reluctant to offer online science courses. Their major concerns revolve around how to provide "wet" laboratory experiences to online students. The Overview page addresses these concerns. It allows educators to review descriptions and contents lists for each LabPaq and their unique benefits supporting valid science education.
Each academically aligned LabPaq contains a lab manual plus the chemicals, specimens, science equipment, and supplies required to perform its experiments. These details plus testimonials by students and instructors illustrate how LabPaqs allow off-campus students to effectively perform at home the same traditional science experiments performed on-campus.
Educators learn that the LabPaq Adoption Process is similar to adopting a textbook. They assign a course specific LabPaq in their course syllabus. Students order online and their LabPaqs are shipped to them within 24 hours. Ordering details are provided for financial aid students.
Initial educator resistance to online science is eroding as data affirms the effectiveness of online courses and of LabPaq experimentation. By using LabPaqs, students engage in rigorous science learning activities and acquire transferrable science course credits. Studies show that students using LabPaqs normally learn more and have better grades than campus-based peers.
LabPaqs are based upon green, micro-scale chemistry technology. This provides a safe, yet effective laboratory experience using the same materials used in campus laboratories. LabPaqs have a 15-year, 100% safety record and can be legally shipped worldwide.
HOL designs, develops, produces, and distributes LabPaqs. The company owners are retired college professors; the company evolved from a chemistry kit they developed in 1994. Dr. Jeschofnig founded the Institute for Excellence in Distance Science Education (IEDSE), a non profit dedicated to enriching distance science education. HOL produces over 80 different LabPaqs in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics, Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, plus Environmental and Forensic Science. www.labpaq.com
Dr. Peter Jeschofnig and Linda Jeschofnig, M.S. are available for interviews and as experts in distance education and online science learning.
