This presentation will address the development of an online, low-cost option for non-science majors to complete their general education laboratory science requirement. To increase affordability and accessibility, the course was designed to utilize an Open Educational Resource (OER) textbook for lecture and has no laboratory kit requirement.

This option supports student enrollment that may have previously been limited by cost, physical restraint, and/or day/time availability. To ensure accessibility for all students, the course was made ADA compliant and was designed utilizing Quality Matters (QM) standards.
