With remote teaching and learning becoming more important than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic, you may want to take note of e-resources such as the video journal, JoVE.

JoVE, the “Journal of Visualized Experiments” is a novel resource accessible via Penn Libraries. This video journal advances research and education by filming, producing, and publishing videos of scientific experiments.

JoVE creates scientific videos for two unique resources: JoVE Video Journal and JoVE Science Education Library:

• Video Journal – JoVE publishes the leading peer-reviewed, PubMed-indexed video methods journal. Articles consist of high-quality video demonstrations and detailed text protocols which facilitate scientific reproducibility and productivity. The scope of the journal includes novel techniques, innovative applications of existing techniques, and gold standard protocols in the physical and life sciences.
• Science Education – Educators and students can use this video collection to better teach and learn key concepts and fundamental techniques at the undergraduate course level.
