Virtual Lab & NPTEL
What is Virtual lab?
Virtual labs are digital simulations of activities that would normally take place in physical laboratories. Virtual labs enable students to participate in lab-based learning exercises without incurring the costs and constraints of a physical lab. Virtual labs can play an important role in institutional efforts to provide more and diverse groups of students with access to lab-based courses, as well as efforts to develop contingency plans for natural disasters or other disruptions to campus activities.
Objectives
- 1. To provide remote-access to simulation-based Labs in various disciplines of Science and Engineering.
- 2. To enthuse students to conduct experiments by arousing their curiosity. This would help them in learning basic and advanced concepts through remote experimentation.
- 3. To provide a complete Learning Management System around the Virtual Labs where the students/ teachers can avail the various tools for learning, including additional web-resources, video-lectures, animated demonstrations and self-evaluation.
