The Pioneering Online Science Labs project exemplifies Sinclair Community College's motto: "Find the need and endeavor to meet it." Sinclair students expressed a need for fully online degree programs; however, the lack of online science courses prevented the completion of the AA and AS degrees online.

The courses have been extremely successful; enrollment has increased and success rates mirror those of the traditional classroom.

This webinar will uncover staffing...
