Web-based Interactive Lab 1. Students click a link within the online classroom that directs them to the website 2. Answers are entered into quiz section for grading

5. Interactive PDF Microscope Lab Example

6. Web-based Ohm’s Law Example

7. Pros and Cons As the simulations have been constructed with in-depth functions relying on both the mouse and keyboard, the reliability of transferring these necessary abilities of the simulation to devices while supporting touch functions has not been consistent. Alternative ideas have been explored and we will look at the Pros and Cons of what we tried and what we learned. Touch Devices
