2. Making the case for Remote Instruments as (Almost) Open Educational Resources (aOERs) to innovate the Chemistry Laboratory
Bruno Cinel & Sharon Brewer

How Technology has revolutionized the way we connect, communicate, and share information; transforming how educators approach teaching and learning in, and out of, the classroom. At Thompson Rivers University, we have been actively investigating the use of remote operation of scientific instrumentation for K-16 science students. We will discuss our work providing access for real time analysis of real world samples, and promoting remote instrumentation as “aOER’s” or almost Open Educational Resources for the science laboratory.
