Virtual ChemLab is a set of sophisticated and realistic simulations, which has been used by millions of students over the past 10 years. We have recently updated and released a new version of Virtual ChemLab with a new user interface and lab book features to make it easier to use for students and teachers. With over 10 years of experience and feedback from students and teachers worldwide, we have learned much about how to enhance and augment classroom and laboratory instruction using the virtual labs. In this talk we will provide a brief update on the new features in Virtual ChemLab, and we will also describe how these virtual laboratories have been used and implemented in various curriculums. We will also describe some of the recent research we have performed using these and other simulation products we have created.
