We are developing remote versions of most of the labs in the book; 14 such labs are ready now, 20 will be ready by Aug. 15, and more will come after that. Most include the option to do the lab entirely virtually, using a combination of interactive video, sophisticated computer simulations, and in-depth data analysis. For these labs, there is no equipment or software cost.
