Description	Education around the world has recently been transformed due to COVID-19. Face-to-face teaching has been replaced by virtual learning in a very short period of time, and academics have been forced to employ new technologies and resources to satisfy the needs and demands of students. Maintaining the undergraduate curriculum with minimal disruption has been a challenge for educators. Electromagnetics engineering education is highly dependent on practical activities. Hands-on experiences are necessary to understand the complex mathematical concepts that underlie electromagnetics fundamentals. How universities are dealing with the transition to online learning is of great interest. Remote integrated platforms, laboratory simulation, and video experiment recordings are some of the resources employed by academics in a virtual learning environment. However, while some classes have coped reasonably well with the online transition, others have been adversely affected, creating losses in student engagement and retention. This chapter aims to bring together the experiences, philosophies, and reflections of academics in differing geographical regions, in the context of the sudden shift to virtual learning in response to COVID-19. The challenges of maintaining high-quality learning experiences when differences in access to devices, Internet, and electricity connection exists are discussed. Book Name: Teaching Electromagnetics
