在SARS-CoV-2大流行期间，校园关闭给从事实验室课程的教师和学生带来了独特的挑战。以前的动手实验必须迅速转向紧急远程学习。虽然在此之前就有一些资源，但目前许多在线模块和/或模拟侧重于单一技术。生物化学真实科学探究实验室（BASIL）课程多年来提供了一个强大的，相互联系的，整体的探究体验，使学生能够在多种技术之间建立联系，无论是计算性质还是基于湿实验室。作为一个基于课程的本科研究经验（CURE），这种灵活的，基于模块的课程允许学生生成基于未知功能的蛋白质的分析原始假设。我们在校园里教授这门课程作为高级实验室课程，并不得不在课程序列的各个点过渡到远程教学。我们报告教师和学生在本课程过渡期的经验。此外，我们报告作为我们的校园正在进行的学科为基础的教育研究（DBER）的基础课程之前和远程交付期间的一个案例研究结果。
Campus shutdowns during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic posed unique challenges to faculty and students engaged in laboratory courses. Formerly hands-on experiments had to be quickly pivoted to emergency remote learning. While some resources existed prior to this period, many currently available online modules and/or simulations focus on a single technique. The Biochemistry Authentic Scientific Inquiry Lab (BASIL) curriculum has, for several years, provided a robust, linked, holistic inquiry experience that allows students to make connections between multiple techniques, both computational in nature as well as wet-lab-based. As a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE), this flexible, module-based curriculum allows students to generate original hypotheses based on analysis of proteins of unknown function. We have taught this curriculum as the upper-level laboratory course on our campuses and were obliged to transition to remote instruction at various points in the course sequence. We report on the experiences of faculty and students over the transition period in this course. Additionally, we report as a case study results of one of our campus ongoing discipline-based education research (DBER) on the BASIL curriculum prior to and during remote delivery.
