I set up my first online Chemistry course with lab for Fall 2020 and have been very impressed with Carolina. They are very nice to work with, knowledgeable, and seem committed to helping keep the project on schedule. They also helped
me pare down the cost of the kits to something more manageable, plus they cover the safety aspects.

Accepting Christ is life's greatest decision; following Christ is life's greatest adventure.
I have not been involved with these conversations, but I am actively taking online courses elsewhere at the moment that have made use of Carolina’s
Distance Learning Lab Kits for Anatomy/Physiology. They have a Chemistry Series with labs that seem like they would be suitable for lower level classes. I have not used the Chemistry kits personally, but it seems like a better route than attempting to prepare
something from scratch. At least if they cover the needs of the class in question.
It might be something to look into at least.

Hi all,
Many institutions, including Stanford University, are conducting all classes online for the foreseeable future. We’re quickly seeing a spike in questions around sending chemicals, adhesives, etc. to students’ homes to facilitate distance
teaching lab classes. This presents a lot of thorny issues around safety, hazardous materials shipping, hazardous waste, safety culture, and equitable learning (i.e., some materials may only be available or able to be shipped domestically, leaving international
students out).
How have other institutions tackled this? Are you completely banning it, providing a list of acceptable chemicals/work practices, reviewing each experiment, or totally out of the conversation?
Thank you all!
Jennifer
