Description
Shainaz Landge and co-authors build a free online forensic chemistry course that puts real research in students' hands. The course follows the CURE model, where class work is a true inquiry project, not a canned lab. Open materials keep costs at zero for every learner.
The team made case studies, lab method guides, and demo videos, all hosted on a library guide platform. Students also met working forensic experts through the course. Nine high-impact teaching practices were woven into the design. Student views of the free materials varied, and views tracked with prior digital skill. Confidence in their own lab skill rose clearly by the end. The authors advise strong tech support up front, so every student can reach the materials with ease.
