This chapter presents and discusses the student and academic experience of replacing laboratory work with online activities due to the COVID-19 restrictions. A set of pre-recorded videos of experimental procedures, online sessions with student-teacher interaction, and follow-up assessment quizzes were introduced into two engineering courses offered in the first two years of the four-year civil engineering programme at Griffith University, Australia. The student feedback and teachers’ reflections indicated that, although it was not feasible to provide students with hands-on experience, the online activities were found to be a valid alternative to the traditional face-to-face lab. Students noted several benefits of the online delivery, including a long-term access to the laboratory-related materials that allowed them to study at their own pace. The developed online resources were successfully employed the following year, when a blended mode was introduced, and students were allowed to return to campus.
