TEAM CADDIS: UNDERGRADUATE COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN AN ONLINE VIRTUAL LAB SPACE
Laboratory research can be a most memorable learning experience in college, but requires working in physical spaces with others. Disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic stopped access to campus buildings disrupting community in research spaces. We used gather.town to build a persistent, online, virtual lab space for collaborative research and meetings for Team Caddis, our undergraduate collaborative research group. In two connected spaces, the “library” and “lab,” members accessed google docs, data entry forms and files while meeting using video and audio. Although a persistent online space, we set regular lab schedules for student teams to work together. During COVID-19 we focused on two projects: (1) transcribing locality information from scans of Essig Museum of Entomology museum material, and (2) assembling “species pages” by harvesting species descriptions text and images from published papers for caddisfly species in California for our return to the laboratory. In sum, 10 students contributed as part of Team Caddis resulting in >330 species pages. By using a persistent space with more autonomy and character movement, we built community, had more natural and spontaneous interactions, helped each other, and kept research moving during uncertain times.
