advantage of virtual mode is the flexibility for both the students and theinstructor.The possible drawback of virtual lab is: less or very few communications between the studentsand the instructor. Another possible drawback is the uneven workload among the students in thesame bench; it seems that in many benches, one student did most of the demos.To benefit more students and people, enhancing virtual labs to a lab courseware is some possiblealternative to consider.AcknowledgementThe authors gratefully acknowledge the financial and technology support of the University,College of Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Center for theAdvancement of Faculty Excellence, which allows the students to perform lab experiments
