Abstract: This article presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of an e-learning guide developed to support university students in writing effective biochemistry laboratory reports within a blended learning approach that integrates online and face-to-face laboratories. Implemented in the Canvas LMS, Laboratory 2 "Guide for Elaborating Laboratory Reports" incorporated a variety of learning resources and activities, and its effectiveness was evaluated through pre- and posttests as well as a mixed-method analysis of student perceptions. Results demonstrated statistically significant improvements in posttest scores and reduced completion times. Students reported positive perceptions of the guide's instructional design, resource quality, and relevance to their professional development. However, final laboratory report grades did not differ significantly from those of the previous cohort. Overall, the findings suggest that Laboratory 2 effectively enhanced students' conceptual understanding and supported the development of scientific competencies while indicating opportunities for potential improvement through repeated exposure and broader curricular integration.
