The COVID‐19 pandemic and subsequent social distancing protocols have accelerated the shift to online teaching across the globe. In Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs this means a shift from face‐to‐face laboratory instruction to self‐directed learning with e‐learning tools.
