Science Interactive Lab Portal
Overview
Science Interactive is an online education platform designed for STEM students participating in online science lab courses. It provides both content and assessment functionalities, including physical at-home lab kits that are sent directly to students. The platform integrates into Canvas via LTI 1.3, offering instructors full editing control over lab content, customizable due dates, and streamlined grading tools. It also features enhanced academic integrity tools like question banks to minimize plagiarism. Students experience an intuitive platform for accessing and completing lab assignments, with the system supporting a variety of question types and interactive learning modules.
Science Interactive's main features include customizable online lab content, assessments with diverse question types, physical at-home lab kits, and academic integrity tools. The tool also provides grade pass back through the Canvas integration and includes a mobile app.
This tool supports hands-on learning in science courses by enabling the use of physical at-home lab kits in online labs. It works well for small to large class sizes, with gradebook features that help instructors manage large enrollments. The tool is especially effective in online asynchronous, hybrid, and blended modalities, giving off-campus students access to authentic lab experiences they would otherwise miss.
Instructors should thoughtfully design content and discuss accessibility needs with students throughout the semester to identify and address any required accommodations early.
Students must purchase this tool to access the labs. Contact Science Interactive directly to discuss pricing. Contact eLearning Support if you would like this LTI enabled in a Canvas course.
