Professor LaBella has taught at the college level for 34 years in the capacity of both a professor and an administrator and is now an eLearning Lecturer II as well as a full-time tenured associate professor at Ocean County College. He has graduate training in biology, educational psychology and statistics, and has taught courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels (face-to-face and online). His biological specialty is microbial ecology, specifically genetically modified bacteria that break down toxic substances (biodegradation). He has taught both in classrooms and online in General Biology I, General Biology II, Anatomy and Physiology I & II, Pathophysiology (undergraduate and graduate level), Statistics & Experimental Design (undergraduate and graduate level) and Ecology.

"I'm looking forward to presenting the various tools and functions included in HOLcloud. We'll look at how well the cloud platform works with HOL's lab-grade student science kits. We'll also discuss some of the positive results we've seen at OCC regarding improved student performance and decreased instructor workload," states Professor LaBella.

This informative 60-minute webinar will discuss:

• How effective interactive online courses can increase student engagement and improve learning outcomes.
• How to integrate OER tools into the platform to offer students a complete learning experience.
• How instructors can teach lab science courses online with curriculum, experiments and automatic reports already loaded into the existing LMS. 
• The ease and efficiency of managing all science lab courses online from one location.
• How ADA-compliance is built into each class to ensure every student has the same experience.
