Abstract
The importance of active learning is generally embraced by laboratory pedagogical philosophies. Porting those philosophies to labs in an online environment has been challenging to those of us whose experience is primarily with students in person. Despite these challenges, there have been countless successes and lessons learned. The panelists shared some lessons from their experiences with online labs in diverse areas of biology including physiology, ecology, genetics, biochemistry and microbiology and then opened up discussion to the experiences and questions of the attendees. Three main themes emerged from this panel, each described below.
Keywords: online, active learning, community building
