Laboratory classes are arguably some of the most challenging classes to teach remotely. There are strategies and resources available to support remote labs in every field. An important strategy is to revisit your overall goals and learning outcomes and determine your priorities for the remainder of the course. And while students will likely not be able to practice physical skills, they can still design experiments and interpret data. In Sue Merkel's workshops, we will talk about these and other approaches to teaching laboratory classes remotely.
