The
Virtual Laboratory is an interactive environment for creating and conducting
simulated experiments: a playground for experimentation. Virtual laboratory is to provide students a chance to perform experiments
using the internet and visual aids without having the equipments at their end.
The Virtual lab program presents a unique opportunity to boost the quality of
education, deepen understanding, and provide the necessary practical skills to
young minds through cost
effective outreach and distance learning activities. Minister for Human Resource
Development, Government of India has launched Virtual Labs — a collection of
ninety-one virtual laboratories containing hundreds of experiments in nine
disciplines of science and engineering. Two types of virtual labs have been
developed under this project. In the Simulation Based Virtual Labs the
experiments are modeled using mathematical equations.
