Virtual Lab Demo Day

Thursday May 28, 2020 10am – 3pm

With many Ontario institutions beginning to plan for online and hybrid delivery in the Fall term, educators are looking for ways to make traditional hands-on lab experiences virtual. As institutions explore their options, eCampusOntario has set up a preview of several platforms that provide virtual lab simulations and/or interactive videos. Join us on Thursday, May 28 for a preview of JoVE, Pivot Interactives, Labster, Beyond Labz, and Quanser.
