    In this challenging specific time and as the world is all taking precautions from being gathered and as the universities are shutting down, I moved to give my students their lectures using (zoom). It's a good tool to use it for distance learning and what you need is to send your students an invitation via email and share your screen and I also use whiteboard to solve problems with them. Whiteboard is also in zoom is like it is in the classroom, but here you need a tablet and window pen.

    Dear Ako, thank you for the suggestion.

    I found this information that could be useful:
    https://blog.coursera.org/moving-online-what-you-can-implement-now/

    Also, these are some interesting tools for you to try:

    Specifically, in concrete design, construction materials and durability of concrete, try these channels:
    Reinforced Concrete - Basic Topics https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
    Reinforced Concrete - Advanced Topics https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
    Concrete Durability
    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

    I hope this will be useful for everyone.

    Regards,
    AG
