College Education Using Virtual Labs

How can you make teaching come alive and be more engaging? For many educators, the answer turns out to be not so much a single solution, but rather a set of tools that can vary according to the subject and even by student. So today, I want to add something new to the pedagogical toolkit: Wolfram Virtual Labs. Wolfram Virtual Labs are open educational resources in the form of interactive courseware that are used to explain different concepts in the classroom. My ambition is to provide an easy way to study difficult concepts and promote student curiosity. Recently, I have been using these labs for my thermal engineering courses. It is particularly useful for remote teaching to a class of 300 students during COVID-19. I will share my experiences and introduce applications of the Wolfram Virtual Labs.
