Introduction
In the wake of the continuing spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Disease, and the concerns of the health, safety and well-being of the communities at academic institutions around the globe, many Universities have suspended in-person classes and have already moved towards online delivery of educational material.
In an effort to support online teaching during these particularly challenging times, Geoengineer.org has collected several online Videos on Laboratory Testing in Geotechnical Engineering and Rock Mechanics. Below you may find links to the collected videos that can help you develop your customized remote classroom.
