Case Study: College of the Redwoods improves online biology and physiology labs with LabArchives

College of the Redwoods - Customer Case Study

The customer, the College of the Redwoods, faced the challenge of transitioning its science courses, particularly lab-based classes like General Biology and Human Physiology, to a fully online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The faculty, including instructor Wendy Riggs, needed a way to replicate the rigorous, hands-on experience of a physical lab for remote students. They utilized the digital notebook platform from the vendor, LabArchives.

LabArchives provided a solution with its ready-to-use lab content and a clean digital space for scientific work, enabling the college to build and share robust online course materials. The results included a seamless transition for Wendy Riggs' Physiology course and a new, collaborative repository for shareable curriculum. This fostered innovation among faculty and allowed for the continuous improvement of courses, generating positive creative energy across the campus despite the challenging circumstances.
