2021 Lab Innovator Award
Share your story!
What innovations have you made in your lab classroom over the last year to meet the needs of a more digital and flexible lab environment?
In March 2020, Lab instructors across the country had to quickly pivot to an online teaching environment that was incompatible with the in person labs that are traditional in most disciplines. While many instructors turned to the remote learning solutions currently available in the market like kitchen lab kits, simulations and video demos, others developed their own solutions. Were you one of those creative Lab instructors who struck out in a new direction to develop new learning materials for your lab in the midst of a pandemic that changed the way we conduct labs on campus (and online)? We want to hear about your experiences and innovations!
Create a video introducing yourself and showing us some of the ways you’ve innovated your lab classroom over the last year (maximum 5 minutes). To accompany your video, please submit a written explanation of what motivated you to innovate your lab classroom, any challenges you faced, and what the future holds for your lab (maximum 500 words).
Share your story with us for a chance to win a 3 day, 2 night trip to the JW Marriott Resort in Phoenix, Arizona to share your innovations with Macmillan Learning employees. Win up to $500 as a runner up.*
