What is it about?
It is often difficult for distance learners to complete physical science classes with laboratory components, due to the difficulties in conducting such activities remotely. This can create a significant barrier to finishing a college degree. We have developed a set of college astronomy laboratory exercises that can be completed by students working alone and at a distance, providing many supporting resources to help them to succeed.

Why is it important?
We are able to offer our resources without charge to instructors and students who could benefit from them. We would like to reach out to potential users, to encourage them to contact us and to use our materials. We also encourage educators in other fields to use our development model to create similar resources for themselves.
