Case Study: University of California Irvine streamlines online chemistry teaching with LabArchives

University of California Irvine - Customer Case Study

The customer is the University of California Irvine. The challenge was for a single professor to effectively manage and deliver a large-scale general chemistry course with 1000 students and 40 teaching assistants, a task made even more complex by the need to transition to a fully online format.

The solution was implemented using LabArchives, a digital platform for course management. The vendor's product provided a flexible, centralized hub for the lab manual and multimedia content, enabled real-time oversight of TA and student progress, and facilitated remote office hours. LabArchives helped the instructor maintain organization, deter cheating with randomized data sets, and successfully deliver the course online without a significant change to her established digital workflow.
