Making high school science labs more real, more engaging, and more accessible Online laboratories (iLabs) are experimental facilities that can be accessed through the Internet, allowing students and educators to carry out experiments from anywhere at any time. Remote labs enrich science and engineering education by vastly increasing the scope of experiments that students have access to in the course of their academic careers. As partners, the Center for Educational Computing Initiatives at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Northwestern University's Office of STEM Education Partnerships offer the following through The iLAB Network: * Gives science teachers and learners in traditional and online high schools, museums, and informal science education programs the ability to experience the excitement and authenticity of using high-end equipment to investigate the world in the same way that scientists do * Provides new research and learning opportunities for students, allowing them to share and discuss procedures and results * Prepares teachers to integrate iLABs in a range of science courses (including AP courses), encouraging them to go beyond the current paradigm of cookbook science labs with outdated or inappropriate equipment * Allows access by students and other audiences around the world who might not other wise have the resources to purchase and operate costly or delicate lab equipment.

Download the supporting PDF file for this episode http://bit.ly/9iuO94 from the Learning to Teach Online project website.In this Learning to Teach Online http://bit.ly/d18ac5 case study, Mark Schulz from the University of Queensland examines the concept of using the Internet to remotely access laboratory equipment to conduct experiments in science or engineering. In particular, it demonstrates one of several experiments that can be conducted online using the iLabCentral website http://www.ilabcentral.org developed by Northwestern University http://www.northwestern.edu. It explores benefits and opportunities for student learning offered by iLabs, by demonstrating how online learning materials in the iLabCentral website utilise remotely access specialist laboratory equipment made available by the Centre for Educational Innovation and Technology (CEIT) http://ceit.uq.edu.au at the University of Queensland, in Brisbane Australia.

This guide lists and reviews 61 web sites with catalogs of astronomical images that are useful for both formal and informal education. Some are general sites (including images covering many topics), whereas others are particular to one topic or one instrument. There is also a brief discussion of getting started in using images, and some resources concerning copyright and fair use issues.
