Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide students with ample opportunity to engage in the scientific process and are increasingly replacing more traditional cookbook-style laboratory exercises in the undergraduate biology curriculum. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the difficulty of implementing these projects during times of crisis. The quick transition to online learning during the pandemic afforded us a unique opportunity to develop an alternative version of our CURE for the online environment and to compare the efficacy of our CURE on learning gains in online versus in-person learning situations. Compared with a previous semester, our data suggest no significant differences in learning gains between students who participated in a hands-on CURE and an online CURE. Taken together the data suggests an avenue for CURE implementation even while teaching in online or hybrid formats. We discuss strategies that made the CURE successful in the online format and offer suggestions for how to adapt such activities for online or hybrid courses.

使用亲自，在线和混合格式的食谱式实验室练习来实施CURE。

基于课程的本科研究经验（CURE）为学生提供了参与科学过程的充足机会，并正在逐步取代本科生物学课程中更多传统的食谱式实验室练习。COVID-19大流行凸显了在危机时期实施这些项目的困难。大流行期间向在线学习的快速过渡为我们提供了独特的机会，可以为在线环境开发CURE的替代版本，并比较我们的CURE在在线学习和面对面学习情况下对学习成果的功效。与上一学期相比，我们的数据表明，参加动手CURE和在线CURE的学生在学习收益上没有显着差异。总体而言，这些数据为在线或混合格式教学中的CURE实施提供了一条途径。我们讨论使在线CURE成功的策略，并提供有关如何使此类活动适应在线或混合课程的建议。
