Foundations of Virtual labs in the Science Field

Ever since the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic, some schools have had to switch to distance learning. Distance learning has become the new norm from the comfort of our homes or residential areas while considering social distancing. Distance learning via the use of technological tools creates a new pathway for learning. Some courses may have a smooth transition from in-person sessions to remote learning, however, courses with laboratory components come with both benefits and challenges. Fortunately, with the availability of the internet and computer, learners will be able to complete course experiments in real time. This course provides an introduction on how to use technology to deliver course laboratory components virtually. Learners take the course as an elective, therefore, most of them are actually willing to develop skills and knowledge necessary to provide remote-access to simulation-based labs in various disciplines of science.
