Dr. Lynne Beaty, assistant professor of biology, experimented with the best way to teach a lab remotely. She found that using a cell-phone head mount gave students the best perspective, giving them a first-person view of Beaty’s hands as she went through the steps of the lab, mimicking what they would see if they were doing the lab themselves.
