Thought your labs were impossible to put online? Talk to Explosives Engineering Emeritus Professor Dr. Paul Worsey, who has been able to successfully convert his demolition labs to online formats.
Dr. Worsey, who has used the fully online environment since 2010 and producing his classes as distance classes, says that video capturing labs and virtual quizzes are key to the program's success. This enabled him to launch a successful master's program in Explosive Engineering in addition to his undergraduate classes.

When she decided to partially flip her Cell Biology class 7 years ago, she found the flip helped her reach those learning goals she had for her students.
