Accessible elements: teaching science online and at a distance

---

The importance of science education and science literacy is rising
rapidly. As a society and as individuals, having access to it has become absolutely vital. Established educational routes of the past have
served us well, but their limitations are becoming more apparent.
There is very real and growing demand by students for more flexible approaches to learning science. Online and distance delivery
offers practical alternatives to traditional on-campus education for
students facing barriers such as classroom scheduling, physical location, and financial status, as well as job and family commitments.
In short, it is becoming a viable and popular option for many on-
and off-campus students in meeting their educational goals.
As educators in science and science-related disciplines, we recognize that pursuing online and distance delivery not only provides
equal access for students, but also gives us several more teaching
options that can lead to quality learning. This book embodies the
experience of educators around the globe and presents approaches
that have been successful in teaching science online and at a distance. We hope it will inspire a positive change in science and science-related education.
