ABSTRACT
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial for an introductory course in biochemistry to move from in-person instruction to total remote learning. There are four transferable skills in the course problem-solving, laboratory psychomotor skills, data analysis and interpretation skills, and presentation skills. Since all lab buildings were closed for learning activities, we responded quickly to ensure the transferability of the skills. We modified the laboratory activity as a home discovery approach to achieve the desired skills. Students showed confidence and gratitude as they learned in a new way. In summary, modifying the laboratory activity helped students acquire laboratory-related skills but presented challenges in using laboratory equipment. This suggests that Home Discovery can be considered a hybrid approach to learning biochemistry.
