在本章中，我们提出了一个以实验室为基础的入门级本科环境化学课程的模型，该课程同时采用面对面和远程方式授课。本课程以阿拉斯加北极环境问题为主题，构建概念化学，以增加化学原理的参与和感知相关性。同步授课和指导讨论，结合同行指导的研究项目，鼓励学生在课程中建立一个学习社区。远程学生参与与在校学生相同的虚拟和“厨房”实验室实验，从而为所有人提供教育同等的课程。在校内和远程学生的混合团队中，所有学生都参与研究项目，让入门级学生探索他们在STEM领域的兴趣。因此，学生们开始建立一个科学家的身份，希望这门课程能成为一种机制，以改善招收和留住学生，特别是来自化学科学和其他STEM研究领域传统上代表性不足的群体。第一节课的回答传达了对课程内容和方法的积极态度。
In this chapter, we present a model for an entry-level lab-based undergraduate environmental chemistry course delivered simultaneously by face-to-face and distance modalities. This course frames conceptual chemistry using the theme of Alaskan Arctic environmental issues in order to increase engagement and perceived relevance of chemical principles. Synchronously delivered lectures and guided discussions along with the incorporation of peer-mentored research projects encourage the development of a learning community among students in the course. Distance students participate in the same virtual and “kitchen” lab experiments as on-campus students, thus providing an educationally equivalent curriculum to all. In mixed teams of on-campus and distance students, all students participate in research projects to allow entry-level students to explore their interests in STEM fields. Students thereby begin to build an identity as a scientist and hopefully this course will serve as a mechanism to improve recruitment and retention of students, especially from traditionally underrepresented groups, in the chemical sciences and other STEM fields of study. Responses from the first course offering communicated positive attitudes toward the course content and methods.
