Laboratories offer a chance for reduced instructor-to-student ratio and enhanced practical experiences. However, intensive lab activities such as dissections and microscopy
can isolate students on islands during labs as a result of different levels of equipment competency and previous experience. Digital pre-lab media, online recitation strategies, and microscope “screensharing” approaches can unify students in learning experiences.
